The LaserWriter or LocalTalk Bridge software is not compatible with A/UX, therefore this bridge software cannot be run on A/UX or AWS 95 systems. This Bridge software needs AppleTalk version 57 or higher to operate, while the AppleTalk implementation in A/UX is based on AppleTalk version 56. If you install the software, you will receive a message like the following:
A/UX machines can be setup to router TCP/IP packets. However, the UNIX features do not include AppleTalk routing. A/UX does not support the Apple Internet Router either.
However, an A/UX system can print to a printer connected to a LocalTalk network via the LaserWriter or LocalTalk Bridge.
