I do have one theory that perhaps someone could weigh in on:
1) The AsanteTalk bridge is crap

2) The Apple StyleWriter localtalk-ethernet bridge won't work for generic localtalk devices

3) The Farallon iPrint was an iPrint SL model (there is also an iPrint LT, which implies there must be some difference between them?)

So basically if I want to have a localtalk to ethernet bridge for connecting localtalk computers to a netatalk server, which bridge would be recommended?

I have an AsanteTalk, and I really can't say its been a problem for me. It runs pretty much nostop for months with only the occasional reboot needed. It also uses a lot less power than using a Mac as a localtalk bridge which I did do for about 2 years with my Performa 6115 CD.
