I'd like to have some info about bridges for LocalTalk.
We want to connect four segments, and connect a Gatorbox or
Kinetics Fastpath to those segments.
Just connecting the four segments won't do, because of distances
and the number of Macs connected. I also expect performance problems
if a simple repeater is used.

If anyone has any information about bridges, please respond.
I'll post a resume' if I receive useful information.
If anyone uses a Shiva Netbridge I'd especially want to
know whether it's a good product, as it is available in the Netherlands.

Thanks in advance,
