Does the AsanteTalk work well for Internet? Or is that really just for LocalTalk?
I would think with MacTCP you could connect to the net. I doubt DHCP would work but you could always set it manually.Does the AsanteTalk work well for Internet? Or is that really just for LocalTalk?
Wow, that looks pretty cool. I did not know about MacIP.This is just a physical media bridge for the AppleTalk network protocol, LocalTalk <-> Ethernet. You would need a MacIP Gateway (software or device with both AppleTalk and TCP/IP plus encapsulation code) and MacIP client software to be able to get Mac with only AppleTalk networking connected to an IP network and/or the internet.

Looking at this again - it might just be Ethernet-Phonenet, not Localtalk at all? I see two RJ-style ports on it, no DIN-style ports thoughHere’s the Farallon version for $19.99 BIN shipped:
Vintage Farallon EtherMac iPrint Adapter LT PN559 | eBay
Fully tested, fully functional. However, we are unwilling to claim that we are perfect.www.ebay.com
I use this one, certainly works for more than hooking just a single LocalTalk printer to an Ethernet network.
Oooh, so you could go LocalTalk-Phone-Ethernet that way? That makes sense then.I only see an RJ-11 and an RJ-45. That should still work if you have a phoneNet adapter. I would think most of us do. Too bad I already ordered the Asanté or I would save some dosh and buy this one.

Yes, but the EtherMac Printer Adapter is for getting a single LocalTalk device connected to Ethernet. I have the very similar EtherMac PowerBook Adapter.This is similar to this other model, right?
