You could either get a Fastpath by Farlon, which is a Appletalk to
Ethernet bridge, or get Ethernet cards for the Macs... But your best
solution is probably to get new macs.. :)
Short of making your own Appletalk for Linux software (Apple does make a
9-pin to appletalk box), you can't do it any other way...
Anyway, this really shouldn't be on the Red Hat List, so hopefully that
anwsers the question and kills the thread... :)
