If you have a LocalTalk network AND an ethernet network, and you can run IPNetRouter on the machine connected to both networks, yes, you can use IPNetRouter to get your LocalTalk-only computers online. Be warned, though: 1- this is very slow 2- it is probably not cost effective As was pointed out in a similar discussion next week, it also requires the ability to add a static route, to your LocalTalk IP subnet, in your cable/DSL router.
