I don't know if it will support AFP 2.0. It is expensive too. Rick Fincher rnf@shumv1.ncsu.edu

For those who don't know, a GatorBox is similar to a Kinetik's Fastpath network bridge except that the GatorBox makes NFS fileservers look like Appleshare fileservers for Macs. We have one at work and it works just dandy (our Sun has an enormous amount of disk space). Send e-mail to Cayman Systems (the makers of the GatorBox) at support@cayman.com or possibly support@cayman.cayman.com and ask them for sure. -- Dave Whitney dcw@sun-bear.lcs.mit.edu ...!mit-eddie!sun-bear!dcw dcw@athena.mit.edu My employer pays me well. This, however, does not mean he agrees with me. I wrote Z-Link & BinSCII. Send me bug reports. I use a //GS. Send me Tech Info.
