It is independent of the network media or other lower-level protocols, and provide services to higher-level protocols like AppleShare file sharing or network games. When it's run over a serial line (RS-232, RS-422, PhoneNet...) line, it's called "LocalTalk". When it's run over Ethernet, it's called "EtherTalk". To make things more fun, you can also run it on top of an TCP/IP network, or encapsulate TCP/IP over AppleTalk (I don't know how it's called in those cases)... In order to combine all those variants, there are both hardware and software routers. The posibilities are large enough to keep you entertained one rainy Sunday afternoon (or more than one ;-) ). Of course, I'm not a Macintosh network expert, so if I'm wrong, please correct me.
