It looks and acts like a Kinetics box, but also translates AppleTalk Filing Protocol requests into NFS requests, so that any of your NFS servers can also be AppleTalk servers. It should support printing from a Sun to an Apple early next year. In the mean time, you can run CAP from Columbia. The price for the GB is about the same as a Kinetics box (~$3000.00), it just provides a couple more nice features.
