I Maybe the original poster meant Yes/No to mean that the box Implements the Tops protocol. The Gatorbox implements the NFS protocol (or whatever it is). I would find it hard to believe that an AppleTalk compatable bridge/router/ gateway be incompatable with a Mac program. Of course, I can't understand why some programs don't implement scroll bars correctly, either (ex: 4D), but that's another story. -Justin vallon@sbcs.sunysb.edu Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
