Although I'm hardly a networking guru, I'd say it's more of a ring than anything else as far as the original Localtalk goes. Originally, there were little Localtalk boxes that plugged into a serial port and then you used either DIN-3 or Phone cables (depending on the connector) to connect the Macs in a ring. With Ethertalk, it's fairly standard Ethernet star topology. That's what I think anyway ;) Scott Holder -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
