Need info on possible products/vendors that will allow a Mac with
a laserwriter+ on an appletalk network to connect to a ethernet
(tcp-ip) network.

I have a Vax/Vms host networked with Excelan (tcp-ip) ethernet to
a Sequent Balance (Unix) host.  I would like to purchase a Mac
and do things such as file xfer/terminal emulation from the mac
to any hosts on the net (ala ftp/telnet),  also remote file
serving would be great.

From my Vms and Unix host, I would like to send print jobs to the
Laserwiter+ thru the appletalk.  I do not want to mess with cable
swapping or physical button pushing.

I understand there are a few ethernet to appletalk boxes out there.
