I've been testing the Cayman Gatorbox this week and have run into some
problems.  I would be grateful for any input.

I have, in addition to the Gatorbox, 8 Kinetics fastpaths (kfps-2, v.3.0
proms) all running the 0688 KIP code.  The gatorbox is configured in the
atalkatab  file as being in the same KIP zone (appletalk-in-IP) as four
other kfps's, but it has it's own localtalk zone (called gator, the other
zones are called cit87, cit116-1 cit116-2, and cit171).  

- First problem: two CAP servers in cit87 do not show up in the chooser
from a mac in the gator zone.  However, a CAP server in a different KIP
zone does show up correctly.  A Laserwriter in cit87 also shows up correctly.  An appleshare server in cit116-1 shows up correctly.  If I
look from any other zone, everything shows up correctly.  

- Second problem: using NFS to a Sun4, I get an 'Ownership violation error'
when trying to mount an Appleshare volume.  

- Other problems include headaches in downloading the software to the box,
software crashes, and other minor problems.  
This looks like a nifty little box, if I could solve the above problems :-(   
I do have the IP working with telnet and tn3270, it works the same as a
kfps, and I do like the auto-tftp reloads it does when it crashes (saves
my shoes from wearing out when i have to reload kfps's scattered about 
campus :-)  )     Any help would be appreciated.  thanx in advance!
