I left out the most important bit of that message. I was wondering
about connecting the Newt (120(2.0)) to the LocalTalk net and then
going through a bridge to a router on the ethernet network. That is
how a couple of my desktops connect. I had reason to believe that
this would work, but then some mention was made (a while ago when I
didn't have time to respond) that this would not work. Might someone
clarify?
