- Shiva makes a product called the Netmodem, which allows you to dial into an
- Appletalk network. It resides on the network as a node, and passes appletalk
- packets between the net and your Mac at home. For ARA, there is the Lanrover,
- also by Shiva, I think. I'm sure Shiva is not the only company who makes
- these, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
