Michael:  I have done a wee bit of network tinkering with the II.  I have
tried this and that.
As to the Asante:  I have tried it, and a Farralon printer thing, a Danya
thing and something called
Etherwrite +, also a older Gator Box.  Every single one does exactly as you
describe:  Locks
the control panel  and a reboot is needed.  If anyone out there knows the
secret to this one I too
 would love an  answer.  I would also like to add:  Can (if the above is
solved) one of thse gadgets
be used also to pass TCP/IP?  Why?  well Marinetti 3 has the MacTCP layer in
it which should be able to
work this way IF the ethernet bridge passes those packets.  A IIci running
IPNetRouter works
but, as Michael says; a Mac as a Apple II peripheral is boring.
