  Questions about the Kinetics box:
Please correct the many errors and assumptions herein.
(I finally got a manual, but its not clear)

Are there two programs available, called DDP & IP? DDP would encapsulate
Appletalk DDP packets into UDP packets that are standard on Ethernet. IP
would just foward them to the ethernet.
Which one does the Multiple Appletalks with an Ethernet Backbone
work under? Can one Appletalk net be an internet (multiple Appletalks
directly connected?)
Under the Ethernet Backbone, do packets reach other Appletalks
automatically and will all routing function automatically?
Can there be other devices on the Backbone which can recognize
Appletalk protocols and respond? How are these treated, routed?

Which configuration does the K-Talk Library run under? Is it
reasonaly straightfoward to use?

And more like this.....

Thanks.
