Farallon iPrint adapter

After debating with myself for about a month, I splurged and purchased a Farallon iPrint adapter on eBay for $6 with shipping. I got it today and all it came with was the adapter its self and the original charger. I'm yet to test it, or figure out how it works, but I will soon figure it out (hopefully).

 
They are simple PhoneNET to Ethernet bridges, and they work fairly well. They only support MacIP, and will not work with anything higher than 10.3.9 (10.4 killed off Classic AppleTalk).

A good thing to keep in the toolbox. It's really simple to setup: plug in the wall wart, plug in the PhoneNet cable (you'll need an adaptor for that if you don't have one, if it's a splitter you'll also need a terminator) and plug in the Ethernet cable. I don't know if a straight or cross over cable is used, I'll have to find out -- I just used the Ethernet cable it comes with (it has a couple of pins omitted).
