Does anyone have any hard performance statistics comparing overall throughput
of a Cayman Gatorbox with a Kinetics KPFS4? The KPFS4 has obvious advantages
in that it includes the AppleShare to NFS translater, but we would like to 
know other people's experiences who have used both products. Other issues 
such as saturation levels under high network loads and incompatibilities with 
any existing network applications are interesting. For now we will probably 
stay with AppleTalk Phase I but we are interested in EtherTalk, TCP/IP and KIP
packets. Are there any particular problems involved with running a mixed
network containing both types of hardware?

Any help will be appreciated.
