We've got an network with twenty Macs and two LaserWriters. All are connected with Apple's LocalTalk connectors. Documentation says that there can be a max of 32 LocalTalk connectors on one net. We'll be adding twenty more Macs to the network and maybe another LaserWriter. What's the best way to add them to the network? The forty Macs are all in one student laboratory. The net is not connected to the outside world. I'd like to avoid the use of AppleTalk zones, if possible, since that could confuse the students. LocalTalk connectors plus a NetBridge? PhoneNet connectors added to present net? How'd you do it? Please email all responses. I'll post a summary if there's interest.
