We are running a Motorola Delta series computer with System V R3 unix and
have a need to talk to our LaserWriter on LocalTalk through a FastPath 4.
If anyone has any information on how to do this please send me mail.  I am
interested in just about any kind of information including source code,
books or anything else that might help.

Also, does anyone know why the LaserWriter seems to prevent anything from
working on the LocalTalk network when it is switched from "AppleTalk" to
"9600 baud".  When we do this (so our unix box can print on it through the
serial port) our MAC's running TOPS suddenly no longer talk to each other
until the LaserWriter is either switched back to AppleTalk or the LocalTalk
cable is unplugged from it.  Is there any way around this?

Thanks in advance...
