Herb what would be needed to make a Linux box do Appletalk? Would that work as a server for the System 7.x & 8.x boxes?
See "netatalk" for this...been around for a couple of decades and works great.

I did this for my first VCF exhibit in 2006: http://q7.neurotica.com/Oldtech/VCF-East2006/ I had a IIE with a workstation card and a IIGS connected by Phonenet to an Asante Ethernet to Localtalk adapter, which allowed them to talk to Netatalk on the Linux machine. I don't remember the specifics after all these years, but I found some of the documentation from the exhibit: http://q7.neurotica.com/Oldtech/Apple/AppleII.pdf Instead of the Asante adapter, you could use a Cayman Gatorbox or Kinetics Fastpath to bridge the two networks.
