We're using Shiva's NetSerial X232 box to dial-in to our AppleTalk network
here.  We're using 2400 baud modems, so it's pretty boring, but AppleShare
works fine.  Sending files to the LaserWriter remotely works just fine also.
The only thing we couldn't get to fly so far is InBox, which is a real minus
for us since we would like to drop mail remotely.  The January 1988 issoe
of MacWorld has an article detailing MacWorld's editorial office AppleTalk
and our remote connection seems to mirror theirs pretty much.  They are
using Intermail (nee Microsoft Mail) there with no problems, so I expect
that would work with the Shiva box as well.  InBox times out over the
phones lines, it seems.
