About three weeks ago I saw a couple of ads for a new Ethertalk box that has just one Appletalk port. You hook it up to an Ethernet on one side, and a Laserwriter on the other, and anybody using Ethertalk can send stuff to the printer. It cost $500, a lot cheaper than full fledged routers. I did not pay much attention to it at the time, but now I want one, and can't find the ad. Does anybody remember this? (Who makes it, etc.....

The box you are thinking of is the EtherPrint box from Dayna Communications, and it does just what you said it does. There is a review of it in the August 7 issue of MacWEEK. The phone number for Dayna Communications is (801) 531-0600.

Dayna Communications Inc. is advertising the EtherPrint box for $499. I assume this is the box in question. Their number is (801) 531-0203 The ad I'm looking at is on page 120 of MacWEEK 7 August 1990. --mikek internet: mikek@boulder.colorado.edu uucp:{ncar|nbires}!boulder!mikek AppleLink: oblio
