You still need a serial port which supports RS-422, bit-synchronous SDLC framing with FM encoding at 230400 bps, and a few other tricks (e.g. a Zilog Z8530 SCC or equivalent), or a hardware box which converts from LocalTalk to EtherTalk.
What about just using an old Mac? Setting up a 68k Mac as an AppleShare/LocalTalk server for a IIgs is relatively simple... how hard would it be to use the Smartport instead? The Pizza box LCxxx's are still quite common and usually very cheap and have all the hardware you'd need. ] SIMON D. WILLIAMS ] RETRONET ADMIN #1 ] WWW.RETRO-NET.ORG
