Hi there.
  The Department of Computer Science at the University of Liverpool is about to
do something historic - historic for us anyway - and buy a network bridge to
connect our Macintosh Network (a few plusses, an SE/30 and a IIci) to our
Ethernet network (several Hp Unix machines and a MicroVax).  I have heard of
two methods for bridging the two networks - 

1) Kinetics Fastpath running CAP/KIP.
2) Cayman Gator Box (our Hp machines are talking NFS).

In the UK the first option is the most popular one - in fact I'm not sure that
I've heard of anyone in the UK using a Gator Box.  Does anyone know of such a
setup in the UK?  Does anyone anywhere have a setup similar to either of the
ones that I outlined above?  I've been asked to prove that the first system
would work with the setup that we have.  Any responses should preferably be
e-mailed to me and I'll summarize here later.  Thanks for your help.
