I don't think the NetBridge is the problem. We have a similar setup here, 
except that we use a FastPath 4 instead of a GatorBox and have two 
NetBridges instead of one. The FastPath is in the middle of the three 
connected LocalTalk segments. We've had no trouble with either the MacTCP 
version of Telnet or the older version with built-in drivers from any 
segment. Perhaps your GatorBox is not configured correctly to pass IP 
packets?
