 We're in the process of installing a campus wide ethernet (mostly
 TCP/IP with some DECNET) here at JHU.  One of the projects that
 will need to be addressed in the near future concerns connecting
 Apple Macintoshes to the network.  The department that has Macs wants
 to be able to connect there Appletalk-networked Macs to the ethernet
 in order to gain access to the mainframes on the ether.  I seem to 
 remember reading about this being mentioned on the net before (in the
 old "net.lan" group I believe).  Any information, or pointers to 
 information would be appreciated.  We have found one site that has
 done this (Dartmouth perhaps?) but they have developed homegrown
 hardware bridge the two networks, we were hoping for a pre-packaged
 commercial solution. 

 Thanks in advance,
 -jj
