Yes, I'd like it too.  However, compared to an intelligent, say 
TribeStar, router for ~US$2,000, the Apple software looks pretty darn 
good.  Anyway, we are trying to find not only low-cost ways to network 
Mac's and Apple II's, but also using solutions that use equipment 
(hardware and software) that is readily available on the commercial 
market (or free)--that schools can easily obtain.

Any ideas?
