Hmmm,

Can someone give us a run down on the differences between AppleTalk and
LocalTalk, EtherTalk and Ethernet?

Are AppleTalk and EtherTalk protocols that run on top of LocalTalk and
EtherNet, which are hardware standards?

Is EtherTalk a protocol like TCP/IP?

So on top of Ethernet, Macs can use EtherTalk, or TCP/IP. Right?

Is EtherTalk an encapsualization of AppleTalk?
