	We have been using a Cayman GatorBox to mount an NFS
filesystem (running on a MicroVAX via Ethernet) as an AppleShare
volume.  The throughput of the GatorBox is unacceptable, and we
are looking for an alternate solution.  Anything that allows us
to mount a filesystem from a Unix machine will be useful.

        What we are really looking for is a way to directly
mount NFS filesystems on Macintoshes connected directly to
EtherNet. In other words, this setup: MacII->Ethernet->NFS
Server, rather than the current setup: MacII->LocalTalk->
GatorBox->Ethernet->NFS Server.  Any suggestions and pointers
would be appreciated.
