I've got a LocalTalk card for my 486 that has been fabulous. In fact, I
never bothered to get its NIC running because the LocalTalk connection has
been all I needed to

Actually, I want to go with a more traditional network setup. And I may
eventually add the PC to the mix, so I'd like a system that would let me go
that route. I am pretty sure I can come up with a hub/router/switch that
will work. Will need to pick up transceivers & cabling and I'll be set.

Why not buy a 10 pack kit of PhoneNet adaptors from eBay (I did), and
connect the Macs via printer port? A good kit will have the terminators and
the lines.
Ethernet is nice, but how fast of a network do you need on these old Macs?
The application programs/etc weren't that big to begin with.
If
The disadvantage of the EtherWave setup is that it is a ringed topology so
if one cable is bad, connectivity is lost. Use the hub (star topology) so
that if an individual cable to a Mac is bad/goes bad, the rest of the
machines are still talking to each other.
Switches are so inexpensive now that

I know. There are a few things I wished they'd added, like what the AAUI
connectiods look like (found that at another site). And more info on cables
would be good too.
As long as the transceivers will enable me to connect to a standard Eth

They have AAUI jacks, the sort of squiggly looking ones. I found a page
with pictures of Mac connectiods, so I'm sure that's what they are. The LC
520s came with cards. I have a 6100 AV that has builtin AAUI. Will have to

I'm trying to understand the basics on AAUI networking. I think it's
starting to make sense. I do have a question about hubs. Does it make more
sense to go with something like the EtherWave or to go with a standard hub,
using transceivers? Right now, I'll be working with ancient
