What software do I need to connect to a LocalTalk network?
You will either need MacTCP or OpenTransport and a relatively current version of the AppleShare extension to make sure that you will be able to access newer servers. If you intend to print to a networked LaserWriter printer, you should also get a copy of LaserWriter 8. Other networked printers such as the ImageWriter II or StyleWriter 2500 may be accessed with their respective drivers.
