You need a product called "Liaison", which is software 
that runs on the Mac II doing the bridging.  The Mac II
doesn't have to be a dedicated server, it can be an ordinary
workstation, but with heavy network traffic foreground
performance will be degraded slightly.

I have a small network where all the Macs but one Mac Plus
orphan are on an Ethernet, and I needed a solution to hook
up a laser printer (which, of course, only has an Appletalk
interface).  Liaison works great for this (and I get to keep
the Mac Plus on the network to boot) and also allows remote
dial-up access to both sides of the network.

Liaison works great for me, and is a product of Infosphere,
with which I have no association other than as a satisfied
customer.
