This is what I'm interested in doing.  
The 4/600 only has the one data port though.  
If I can speak serial instead of LocalTalk over this port, without an adapter, that would be perfect.  
I didn't think this would be possible, but as I've mentioned, this isn't my area of expertise.  

Thanks,
Tim
