I would second that recommendation, only I'd suggest using a router rather
than a hub. I recently set my dad up (macos only) using a router for his
cable modem and a localtalk bridge to the printer and older computers, and
it works quite nicely, and has the added benefit that more than one
computer can share the cable modem connection. The router was around $100,
as was the bridge.
