Hardware, like a AsantéTalk or Dayna Mini EtherPrint.Their are two types of LocalTalk bridges you can use: Now a combination of a LocalTalk bridge and a MacIPRpi can do the trick. In the old days we had router devices like a FastPath to do this. This device will ‘unpack’ tthe TCP/IP packages and send them to other TCP/IP networks.
To do this right you need a piece of hardware or software to do this. To ‘speak’ TCP/IP from a LocalTalk network to a TCPnetwork, like the Internet, it is necessary to encapsulate Internet Protocol (IP) packets within the AppleTalk DDP protocol. On this kind of network it is not possible to ‘speak’ TCP/IP to the Internet right away. You can connect Macintosh computers over LocalTalk with the use of cabling between the printer ports.

And the MacIPRpi is loaded with software to get you going with file sharing with almost any computer. gives you a MacIP gateway out of the box on a Raspberry Pi thanks to the Linux port of macipgw done by Stefan Bethke.
