Check out Liaison from InfoSphere. It is a software-only bridge that connects
two LocalTalk networks over the telephone lines by modem. Also, it will act
as a LocalTalk/Ethernet bridge for AppleTalk packets. That is, I dont think
you could use it in place of a Fastpath or Gatorbox for TCP/IP routing.
I'll be trying this soon though, and will let you know.
