We just got a new Mac IIx with Etherport card to go with our Mac II.  I
would like to have the Macs share a Laserwriter II through a simple
LocalTalk network between them.  I would also like to use NCSA Telnet
over the Ethernet in our lab to our other machines.  That looks
impossible from the above comments and the Etherport card docs.
(Impossible without playing the Control Panel/Chooser game each time
you want to do one or the other.)

Recently I thought I heard mention of a program (in this group) that would
run 'in the background' under Multifinder that would route stuff coming
in through the Etherport card and send it out through Appletalk to a
Laserwriter.  Laisson sticks in my mind.  Am I dreaming.  If not (and I
hope not, because that sounds very useful) could someone send me some
information about it?  I will summarize anything interesting (assuming I
get anything).

Thanks,

Dennis
