Hi all,

We just got our first R260 and it seems to be quite a
good machine.

So far we have only run RISC-OS applications and want
to start experimenting with the UNIX part.

We want to hook it up as a UNIX server for Ethernet and
Econet.  We have 2x 440 and quite a few a3000 plus Beebs
all on econet and 3x Acorn file servers.

1.  Do we have to run TCP/IP on the EcoNet or can a beeb
    access files on the R260 through standard Econet
    protocols.
2.  Can the R260 act as a gateway and a file server or 
    do we have to run a seperate gateway.
3.  Can one have terminal access to the R260 through the
    Econet.

Any help and info would be appreciated.
