I'm considering buying a bridge to connect an AppleTalk
network to an Ethernet network.  The Ethernet network serves
Sun UNIX machines.  I've been told that either a Kinetics
FastPath or Cayman Gatorbox (spelling?) will do the trick.
Does anyone have any experience with either of these products?
I know it's possible to run TOPS on both networks, and I've
heard that Sun is coming out with a version of InBox that will
work across the bridges, but I don't know for sure just what
will be possible with either bridge or any available networking
software.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.
