I asked a similar question some time ago, and below is one of the answers: (from minshallEkinetics.com (Greg Minshall), THANKS!) --- > Is it possible to set up one (for the whole university) FastPath or > a GatorBox as a EtherTalk-tcp/ip bridge and have it perform the > neccesary conversion? ... > Would it work? If not, why? Are the alternative solutions? With K-STAR on a FastPath, this is possible. You need to select option 7 (and, by the way, configure things properly everywhere else), and it will service "MacIP" clients (be they NCSA Telnet, our HostAccess, whatever) connected "via" ethertalk as well as localtalk. (By the way, selecting option 7 implies that only one K-STAR (or KIP) box may be "in" the same zone - where "in a zone" means "has the same zone assigned to its localtalk port".) --- I've tried it, and it works. I can't find option 7 documented anywhere, and I don't know if it is an official feature or not.
