Just thought you'd be interested to know that Apple has decided
to rename AppleTalk to LocalTalk.  I guess this is because "AppleTalk"
is not the only "Talk" anymore (e.g., EtherTalk).  This is per the head
of TCP/IP work at Apple who attended the TCP/IP Interoperability
conference and discussed Apple's plans to provide a standardized
TCP/IP driver which any application could use. (A file which will
live in the System Folder will load the driver into the System Heap.)

He talked about the several things they are working including LocalTalk
over IP, IP over LocalTalk, and Proxy Ethernet over LocalTalk.  Nifty
stuff.
