AppleTalk over ethernet) rather than IP, NetBEUI, or IPX (which are
what Windows understands).

Hmmm. Bummer. I just purchased 2 ethernet cards from Bradley thinking I
would be able to use them with my PCs. Now I can't remember why I need them
if I can't get the PC connection going. Is there some way around this?

server with the AppleTalk stack, sadly.

What about PCMacLan that creates an AppleTalk stack that I currently use to
print form a PC to a Apple LaserPrinter?

Will I be able to print to the Apple LaserPrinter from the Ethernet card on
my Newton?

Thanks!
Drew
