sure. you can use them for all the IP-based stuff (probably with
WinGate or something on your PC). so you can install packages through
NetHopper for example, and access your diary/names through NPDS.
it's still *very* worthwhile having the ethernet, it just doesn't work
with NCU.

the PC version NCU doesn't even pretend to work over EtherTalk (i
believe). so i doubt that PCMacLan (or Dave, or ...) will help.

yes. in that case, NCU has no involvement. any AppleTalk (via
EtherTalk) printer on your network should be available. you'll notice
that HP laserjets tend to have this support built in. also WinNT can
be configured to export its printers via EtherTalk.
(still toying with the idea of setting us a sync program via NPDS)
