    Well, here at TOPS I've been running the new TOPS/Mac 3.0 over 
EtherTalk for several months now.  I've always got our TOPS/Sun server 
mounted, and my Mac and the Sun communicate directly over EtherTalk (no 
DDP-in-IP encapsulation).  Works like a charm.
    Oh, and I'm simultaneously running MacTCP (to read news, and telnet to 
the Suns).  No compatibility problems with TOPS.
