If, by adapter, you mean the Keyspan Twin Serial, then no, you
won't be able to do AppleTalk over it at all. You can do backups,
but only serial with it. However, you _can_ do AppleTalk over
Ethernet. Dunno what the capabilities of the 130 are in this
respect, though...

NCU works great. I haven't tried Victor's UnixNPI yet, and I'm not
sure if it works over ethernet. I assume not, but you know what
they say about assumptions... :)
