Well, since you asked, here it is: In a sense I didn't "do" anything to get it
working. I suspect it may have been working all along (in that case my
apologies for the wasted bandwidth). 

When you select a printer in the chooser (either AT or serial) normally the
printer's name shows up in the box on the right hand side of the chooser
dialog window. But when the LT Bridge is running, if you select a printer, the
printer's name doesn't show up. I took this as meaning that the 950 wasn't
"seeing" the printer on the LT side. 

But after reading more about the LT Bridge, and more e-mails between me and
Those More Knowledgable (who assured me my setup was correct), I decided to
try again. So I set AT to Ethernet, re-activated LT Bridge, and selected one
of my LT printers in the chooser. It's name didn't show up in the right hand
box, but I tried printing anyway. Lo and behold, it worked! I was able to
print to either of my LT printers while AT was set to ethernet and the LT
Bridge was on. 

Further testing verified that I was able to share files between my 950 and
7100 with no problems, and that I was able to print from my 7100 to the LT
printers hooked up to my 950. 

So everything works the way I wanted it: I can share files and printers, using
my 950 as a server for the 7100 using AT over an ethernet LAN.

Pax,

Rob Johansen
