I just received some product literature from Kinetics.

EtherSC connects the SCSI port of a Mac+ directly to Ethernet.  Price:  $1250
Fastpath connects Appletalk and Ethernet.  Price:  $2500 
Etherport SE is an internal Ethernet controller board for the SE.  
It goes for $850. 

For most of the products, It says that software exists that allow you to 
connect the SE (with board) to DEC VAX/VMS, UNIX, and TCP/IP networking 
systems.  

One piece of software that looks interesting is MacNIX/Net from a company
called Eurosoft.  Supposedly, UNIX file systems and commands are mapped
into icons, pull-down menus, and dialog boxes.  You could copy files
between your host and mac by dragging a file icon.  If anyone has info
on this package, please send me e-mail.
