I used to admin a small AppleTalk network several years ago. Forgot most
of what I used to know about it... I don't recall it being overly
complex. ;) Makes me think I could make it work now.

The gateway is something that I'm trying to get, too. I have a Dayna
Port-something or sonething-Port unit that seems to have ethernet and
AppleTalk. (I picked it up at the dump in the town I recently moved out
of. I probably miss the "Recycling Barn" the most from that town...)
Anyway, I downloaded the setup disk for it, and I'll try to make it run
tonight. The II ci I picked up has System 7.1 on it and lots of graphics
software, but no speed or ethernet connection. The AppleTallk/Etehrnet
bridge would be great. Sorry I don't have two of them... :(
