I believe that Kinetics has mumbled in public that they have such a beast working. I aint seen it though. Perhaps a flood of phone calls would convince them they should "productize" it. By the way, I like the name that they (as far as I know) coined for the UDP-encapsulated AppleTalk format: "IPTalk". I encourage its use by the community. I hope it's not (tm). - RL "Bob" Morgan Networking Systems Stanford
