I looked at my specs sheet for the EtherRoute gateway (from Compatible
Systems?) and it has 2 LocalTalk ports; claims to do full routing between
them. 2 is not quite 4, but EtherRoute is about 3 times cheaper than the
Multigate, so you may want to look at it.

By the way, let me ask for experiences again (last time I did, the response
was quite underwhelming); could you please describe real-life experiences
(if any :-) with:

1) EtherRoute

2) Asante 12 port 10Base-T hub

3) Asante external (SCSI) E-net adapters?

Even laconic "works fine" / "stay away from it" replies will be deeply
appreciated!
