Not if you use Linux. :)
Linux will do it if you use Brad's drivers and an Apple localtalk
board. Last year I had a linux box up for a couple of months on my
school's localtalk network. I had a file and print server running as well
as IP over DDP. I never got more than about 12 K/s even though my mac was
humming at 18 K/s on the same connection. :) But aside from that, it
worked great. The ony time I crashed it was when I tried to use it as a
port on a masquerading firewall. :)
