Plus, at one time, AppleTalk was called LocalTalk, which could mean the networking protocols or the actual cable it ran over.
No. AppleTalk was always AppleTalk - a published stack of networking protocols.
When it first came out the only lower layer protocol available was LocalTalk and Apple referred to it and the upper level protocol as "AppleTalk".
Then why were the two differientated so clearly in InsideMac? And why did Apple sell "LocalTalk Connector Kits (for AppleTalk Networks)" from day 1? Those were the thing to buy, until the PhoneNet kits came out, which were a bazillion quatloos cheaper.
MacIP tunnels AppleTalk through TCP/IP networks.
Other way around. Mac IP runs IP through an AppleTalk network.
oops. Yer right.
