As far as I know there was no serial to ethernet adapter, but the LocalTalk to Ethernet bridges I mentioned in an earlier post are effectively the same thing.

Actually, there were serial-to-ethernet adapters. I'm aware of two- the Farallon EtherWave Mac/PB adapter and a similar one from Dayna.

Basically, you plugged it into the serial port and loaded a driver. IIRC, they usually only worked with classic networking (not OpenTransport). The Farallon could also work in a "default" mode as a LocalTalk bridge.

I use to use one of the Farallon adapters with a Duo 230. It was okay, albeit a bit slow.
