LocalTalk?

Author	Topic
Syrex314 Starting Member USA 15 Posts	Posted - 09 Aug 2002 : 22:36:18 Are there any UNIXes on 68k that have LocalTalk support? I'm playing with routing, and would like to have something set up where I don't have to pay the $90 registration fee for IPNetRouter... "Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing..."

So I could use my Linux box to serve up stuff to an iMac, and the iMac would see it as an AppleShare server. What I'm looking for is LocalTalk over a serial cable support. Not all of my Macs have Ethernet support... "Where the ocean meets the sky, I'll be sailing..."
