Sybil,
Tough questions, I had to do a little digging...
What is LocalTalk - A port on Macintosh computers (and some printers) which connects to an Appletalk protocol network. A serial connection, usually at 230 kbit/sec.
What is AppleTalk - A network communication developed by Macintosh to allow Macintosh computers and printers to easily network. Each computer has a Localtalk port which communicates with the Appletalk protocol. Appletalk can also communicate via Ethernet and Token Ring. Appletalk networking has dynamic addressing, so networking is as easy as plugging the device into the network.
