See Phil Beesley's site on LocalTalk Networking Overview

If your computer only has USB and Ethernet connectors you will need a 
bridge between localtalk and ether net such as a Gatorbox

Actually, on second thought, if your hosting Mac has both serial and 
Ethernet ports it can act as both a host and a bridge.  So you might look 
at Mr. Garber's offer.

If your PBG3 has serial ports it's easier you could use the old style 
connectors
