Some ethernet/localtalk bridges, especially ones aimed at printer use, 
don't always seem to pass all the Appletalk protocols properly, and/or have 
something happen strange in the translation.

I've had the most luck with Cayman Gatorbox CS (Model 10101) and the CS 
Rack mount model.

Some people have had success with Farallon FastPath routers, but not me. 

The Dayna EtherPrint-T model EP0121 seems to be too slow, because I can see 
through it to find a server, but the GS times out when trying to do a 
logon.

The EtherWave Mac/PB adapter seemed to work somewhat when I tried one, but 
I only had the ADB power supply cord and it may have been over using the GS 
power supply.  One with an external power supply would probably operate 
better.
