A faculty member is interested in getting a device to convert Appletalk
to TCP/IP in order to provide file sharing with UNIX machines (like
NFS).  He has mentioned two devices: Gatorbox and Fastpath.  What
are the differences between the two?  Which is better?  Will these
devices work with EtherTalk as opposed to LocalTalk (we plan to have
the Macs on the same Ethernet with UNIX machines using an Asante
Ethernet card for the Macs)?  Are there any software solutions that do
not require such a device?

Any info would be appreciated.  Please respond via E-mail...
