Abaton Multitalk

Does anyone have, or know about the Abaton Multitalk?

I was going through the TIL articles and found: TIL04140: MultiTalk: No Longer Available for AppleTalk Network
MultiTalk lets AppleTalk network users share serial devices. It has four mini-circular-8 connectors: one for AppleTalk (RS-422) and three for RS-232. The RS-232 connectors support modems, scanners, plotters, printers, or protocol converters. The user can select from four ports when the modem port is logically selected, and there can be up to four MultiTalks perzone. MultiTalk is incompatible with MacLink Plus, Switcher (intermittent), Telescape Pro.
MultiTalk fails to cause DTR to drop on disconnect when using VersaTerm.

I found a WorthPoint post showing that someone had a boxed version.... This looks like another piece of hardware that would be fun to play with.

Ooo, that's neat. I wonder why they dropped support for MultiTalk? That would have been cool.
