Computing Ctr. Lines: 22 ... 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.
