some LocalTalk/Ethertalk bridges also support MacIP (for example, the
Cayman GatorBox). i don't know about the Asante box.
another option, might be that there is Linux code out there to do both
the bridging and MacIP, i believe. i don't know if or how well it
works, but if you have an old Mac that can run Linux (or a PC and a
Localtalk card), this might be an alternative solution.
but really, as has been pointed out, this is all a lot of effort to
save running a 10base-T cable down the hall ...
