Yep, but beware that the connectors that we see on the boxes pictured there
are the connectors to plug the cables *between* 2 of those boxes. Each box
in turn has a cable coming out of it and plugging into the LocalTalk port.
This cable has the same pinout than the serial cable. That's why, on that
same page, at the top, they say that you need at a minimum that cable, which
is a serial cable. Remember, LocalTalk is just a smarter and more verbose
serial protocol...
