You need a MacIP server (macipgw runs on FreeBSD, perhaps others?) to
encapsulate/deencapsulate the IP packets out of AppleTalk packets from the
LocalTalk segment and put them on your ethernet wire (and vice versa).
nb: AppleTalk != LocalTalk LocalTalk is a data/physical layer protocol and
AppleTalk is a network->application layer protocol, that can run over
LocalTalk, Ethernet, TokenRing, FDDI, etc.
