I can personally attest this works perfectly (note that for MacIP
DDP-encapsulated IP you need a LocalTalk bridge capable of this function).
I have a IIci running 1.5.2 connected to a Dayna EtherPrint-T Plus bridge,
which allows all the systems on the LocalTalk segment to connect to the
IIci over AppleTalk and share files as well as the EtherTalk-connected
printer. This Dayna isn't capable of MacIP routing, but I don't need those
features, and for simple AppleTalk routing it works flawlessly for both
bidirectional file sharing and printer services.
