	Does anyone know what makes appletalk connectors special?  A few 
readings with an ohmmeter showed that the connectors are not merely a straight
though cable.  One possible explanation is that the box supplied with 
appletalk has an optically isolated circuit inside its 2" x 1" mysterious
box. Has anyuone been brave enough to open one of these boxes and solve the
mystery???  If you have, please let me know!  They cannot be complex since 
the appletalk hardware only uses 3 wires from the computers subminature
din-8 jack.
