I was wondering if we couldn't revive this project. I think that it would be brilliant to have a small piece of hardware which can bridge LocalTalk....with TCP/IP support. I recently made a MacIPgw virtual machine. If you have a old LocalTalk bridge you can use it. Same for the A2SERVER. Also nice if you have piece of LocalTalk Bridge hardware.

I'm thinking of a Raspberry PI / Arduino card, etc with Localtalk support.

I have been experimenting with PC LocalTalk cards as well, so there is support in the Lunux kernel for it.

Anyone an idea what the changes are to build something like this? We even could make it a Kickstarter project......
