the Netserial/Netbridge/Telebridge and become part of the network zone       
it is connected to. If your (remote) mac is part of a network, it will        
temporarely be disconnected from its local network. Works great. TOPS      
works across this even at 2400 baud - Gatorboxes don't.                    

True, except that Gatorbox also works.  At least it does for me,
just fine.

(Of course, 2400B is 100x slower than the 256KB appletalk, so you
shouldn't be surprised; e.g., a file that prints locally in 10sec
will take about 16min.)
