Can anyone offer their experiences good/bad with the Webster MultiPort
Gateway, Compatible Systems' EtherRoute TCP, or APT's ComTalk? 

I know I'm going to need three-four zones right off the bat to handle 
roughly 75 LocalTalk devices (approx. 60 macs, 10 LW, 5 ATalk PC).
Main requirements are TCP/IP connectivity between LocalTalk and Ethernet
allowing telnet & LW printserving to TCP/IP hosts on Ethernet.

I know the above boxes (in combination with some software) can handle
the job.  The question is which do you prefer configuring/administrating?

If you email I'll summarize and post.
