They don't support LOCALTALK, they support APPLETALK. LocalkTalk is a
cabling system. Since you have a 2100, you can use AppleTalk over
Ethernet too - so just get an Ethernet card for your 2100. There's one
that's been mentioned here that's about $30-40, cheaper than the $20 or
so that LocalTalk boxes go for these days.
Far better and FAR, FAR faster solution that Localtalk AppleTalk or
serial, too.
See the Newton FAQ for pointers to cards and drivers that'll work.
