I'm not sure if this is wise, considering the UofC already has a large mac network out here. (I believe its still Phase 1 appletalk.) The other questions are, who should I buy my gateway from? Shiva (now that they license the Kinetics stuff)? Should I go with Cayman gatorboxes instead? I plan this network to be in a zone on its own. b) Will I have problems getting CAP and KIP to work so I can have stuff from our sun to print on our appletalked printer? Given the above (a network of macs using appletalk with a gateway to the Ethernet), am I going to run into problems software- or hardware-wise?
