The fastest way is an all ethernet connection.  We have tested many different
configurations here, and any link that went through AppleTalk lost to the
EtherNet ones.

An appletalk-kineticsbox-ethernet is also slow since you have an AppleTalk
bottleneck(I don't believe the kinetics box adds much to the delay).

So, I think that the fastest way is to get an EtherTalk card(Apple's or
Kinetics') and hook up to the mainframes ethernet.

Mind you that are tests were done with an A/UX machine(no finder quitting
delay) and MacII(with finder quitting and closing different files-delay) so
you may have different results.
