  12. If you are refering to EtherTalk from Apple, you are out of luck since the
  13. interface does nothing by itself, what you need is a packet driver and a
  14. network stack to drive Ethertalk over the ethernet. Those are software modules
  15. generally bound to the kernel. I am not aware of such software for EtherTalk,
  16. but I know they exist for NetOS like DECnet.
