Hello All,

 I would appreciate a few words of wisdom concerning routing ethertalk
networks.

 We are setting up a lab which will be using Mac connected with EtherTalk.
We would also like the lab to be on the Uni's ethernet backbone, but the
policy of the Uni is that student labs have to have a router between them
and the backbone to prevent naughty students from peeking at packets
floating down the backbone.

 My plan was to use a Mac with 2 ethernet cards in it, and use something
like the InterNet router to separate the two networks ie. EtherTalk to
Ethernet. To complicate matters we only have a localtalk laser at the
moment (until Apple release their new ones), can the Internet router also
handle routing EtherTalk to LocalTalk as well as the Ethernet to Ethernet?
Is there another way of doing this which is better/cheaper/faster/all of the
above?

 Any advice/comments will be welcome.

 Thank you.

 Regards,
 Malcolm
