Introduction

MultiTalk is a repeater for different transports for AppleTalk:

• EtherTalk, spoken by Classic MacOS or netatalk2 machines over Ethernet
• LocalTalk-over-UDP (LToU) multicast, spoken by Mini vMac 37+
• TCP, spoken between multitalk instances or bbraun’s kwai server
• TashTalk, spoken by TashTalk-programmed PICs over serial

Usage

Install the latest version of MultiTalk:

go install github.com/sfiera/multitalk/cmd/multitalk@latest

Convert between EtherTalk and LToU on the ethernet port:

sudo multitalk --ethertalk eth0 --multicast eth0

The same, except printing all packets for debugging:

sudo multitalk -e eth0 -m eth0 --debug
