[G4] Using an appletalk printer on an ethernet network with Panther

[sr ferenczy]

simple answer - buy a cable/dsl router.

more involved - read apple's support article in regards to this:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106298

personally, when hooking my Lexmark laser up via apple talk, i went 
with a router (best $25 i ever spent) and it made life simple. i ran 
into nothing but problems when trying to run appletalk and PPPoE out of 
my mac and got poor performance out of the printer...
