Indeed. I'm one of them. (rarely) ... IPX managed print server. It speaks
IP, but cannot be managed by IP. I'd throw it away, but it functions as a
two port serial terminal server as well. (2 parallel, 2 serial)
I don't have any true appletalk (or localtalk!) hardware anymore. But I
know where there's a palet of them. :-)
I still have MCA token-ring cards for an RS/6000 (and the RS/6000.) I'm
just waiting for the NCDOT to need one to recoup a wad of tax money.

Ahhhh, the "internet in a box" IPX-IP gateway device. God, how we hated
those things. But some companies refused to install an IP stack, 'tho
they'd install the IPX "IP app" suite. (late '90s)
