Sonic Systems (408.736.1900) has a series of products called the EtherBridge  
Series which among other things allow you to share LocalTalk printers on an  
ethernet network. [in addtion it allows macs to be hooked up to the Ethernet  
network with no additional Ethernet hardware (other than ONE host Mac equipped  
with ethernet hardware)]. 

This is done via software placed in the System Folder on a Mac with an ethernet  
card on the network.

My question is with NeXT's support for LocalTalk under Ethernet (in 3.0) will I  
be able to see Mac LocalTalk peripherals on the NeXT side? Obviously I'd buy  
this product if I could PRINT to my LaserWriter NT from my NeXT via this set  
up. Or will I get this from the NeXT 3.0 Ethertalk support directly?

Anyone from NeXT care to comment?
