Has anyone out there used DaynaTalk yet?  I want to know if it works with
gateways such as the KFPS and Gatorbox products.  I also want to know about
throughput and if the transfer rate between a sending node with DaynaTalk
and a receiving node without DaynaTalk is affected (i.e., does buying one
for only the server or gateway and not all LocalTalk nodes help any?).

DaynaTalk is a LocalTalk hardware enhancement that, acording to the Byte
review of MacExpo (Byte, Nov 1988, p140), speeds up LocalTalk data
transmission rate, to 850Kbps for Macintosh nodes and 1.7Mbps for PC nodes.
I haven't communicated with Dayna yet.
