I was thinking the same thing. We used to have a Cisco (Catalyst 4000? 5000? I don't remember.) that had the AppleTalk turned off and when it was off we only saw our own zone (being seeded by our NT Server) but then they turned the AppleTalk on and we could see zones throughout the whole campus. They even setup the router to seed the zone so we wouldn't have to do it on our server.
Just this past fall we installed a newer Cisco and no problem with it routing AppleTalk. That's not to say they don't make some that don't do AppleTalk. If you have printers in other areas that are AppleTalk only (they don't do IP) then I can't think of anything that will make them IP unless you buy a print server that supports IP and AppleTalk. You could then print to the print server via IP and then the print server can send the data to the printer via AppleTalk. Or, a print server that supports IP and then you connect the printers directly to the print server. ~tom > ---------- > From: Jim Arnott > Reply To: Mac Network > Sent: Wednesday, March 5, 2003 1:01 AM > To: Mac Network > Subject: Re: AppleTalk Zones and Printers over IP > > chris wrote: > > > > yes, for many routers this is the case.
