I have a number of older Macs & printers cobbled onto Ethernet in my 
home office....I've been using Asante's adapters for years & they've 
been great.....AsanteTalk (<$80 new?) will put your entire LocalTalk 
network on Ethernet, although I only use it for my aging HP 4ML. I 
also use a FriendlyNet adapter for AAUI-> Ethernet......is this what 
you're looking for?
