FWIW, I finally got an AsantéTalk to work by slavishly following the 
power-up sequence prescribed in the FAQ:

"Q: Is there an approved power-up sequence for the AsantéTalk? 

"A: Yes. In general, turn on all Localtalk devices first: printers, 
laptops and desktop computers. Once these are all functioning, do 
EITHER of the following: If the AsantéTalk will be connected to an 
existing Ethernet network, connect the silver Ethernet cable to a hub, 
bridge or router, and power up the AsantéTalk. If the AsantéTalk will 
be connected to an iMac, connect the yellow crossover cable to both 
AsantéTalk and iMac, power up the AsantéTalk, THEN power up the iMac.

Yes, this is required every time the power goes out. :-)
