Listers,

OK, which is which?

AppleTalk - the protocol?

LocalTalk - the hardware (Apple-branded, with 3-pin connectors on the cabling)?

PhoneNet - the hardware (non-Apple, with modular phone lines for cabling)?

I would prefer to use Apple-branded hardware with my Macs. However, I have 
a chance to get a Farallon ISA AppleTalk card for my Linux box and, as I 
understand it, Farallon uses the modular phone cables. Does anyone make 
some sort of modular-phone-jack-to-3-pin-connector adapter or are the two 
systems electrically as well as physically incompatible?
