[comp.sys.apollo] Apollo and Appletalk

ief@geocub.UUCP (Alain Merigot) (12/15/88)

    We would be interested to find a solution to interconnect our
domain network with an appletalk. Apparently, two solutions exist :
	Ushare which consists of a card pluged in an apollo
	Kinetics that uses ethernet

    According to the documentation, ushare seems to be quite
performant but the related sofware is rather expensive. Kinetics
is not guaranteed to work on Apollo.

So, have anybody experienced one of these products (on sr9.7 or 10)?
What are their advantages and drawbacks ? What are the
functionnalities of the file sharing ? Can the printer be exported
on an ethernet in either cases ? etc ...

Any comment wil be appreciated.
