> If you want built-in ethernet, your options are more limited. I don't need Ethernet for the printer. The plan is to connect it to the network via a PhoneNET/LocalTalk adapter that matches the pin output on the Mac Printer port. Since it would not be connecting directly to a Mac, but rather connecting directly to the network itself I just wanted a printer that could interface with AppleTalk via the printer port. It is *possible* that I could use an SE/30 to connect the printer to via the Printer port and have the network pass into the Modem port but I would prefer to be able to print without having the SE/30 running. What options does that leave me with? Thanks! Matt -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
