Ask her to block all non-IP traffic from the Macs and allow
all IP traffic. That can be done easily if she's got a router, just
turn AppleTalk routing off.
It can also be done for roughly $100 - $150 by buying a
"broadband" router and putting that between the newspaper's part of
the network and the rest of the school. It will work because those
routers (except the Airport) don't route AppleTalk and block it.
