It's simple to explain what the problem is, however, the solution may be a bit
harder...

We've got 2 mac fx's.  Both are hooked up to a laserwriter plus via 
appletalk.  Both have ethernet cards, hooked up to our Sun fileservers and other
machines.  

Problem is, we've got printers on the Unix side of the world that we'd love to
have access to.  From all I've heard and read, you need to have an AppleTalk <->
Ethernet gateway in order to do this, yes?  

Note that one of the fx's is fairly dedicated to A/UX 2.0, which might throw an
interesting twist in things.

Oh, and while I'm tossing questions into the ring, we've also got a lowly 
Mac Plus on our 3-node appletalk net.   Any possible way to use the 
fx running A/UX as a gateway between appletalk and ethernet, so it too can
get to the Unix printers?

Any/All answers gratefully appreciated!
