Somewhere I remember seeing (or dreaming about) a box that gateways four localtalk segments to an ethernet. Was I dreaming? Can someone point me in the right direction? Or will I need 4 more FastPath's? Thanks John Sherwood Dalhousie University sherwood@ac.dal.ca

I looked at my specs sheet for the EtherRoute gateway (from Compatible Systems?) and it has 2 LocalTalk ports; claims to do full routing between them. 2 is not quite 4, but EtherRoute is about 3 times cheaper than the Multigate, so you may want to look at it. By the way, let me ask for experiences again (last time I did, the response was quite underwhelming); could you please describe real-life experiences (if any :-) with: 1) EtherRoute 2) Asante 12 port 10Base-T hub 3) Asante external (SCSI) E-net adapters? Even laconic "works fine" / "stay away from it" replies will be deeply appreciated! -- Eric Behr, Illinois State University, Mathematics Department Internet: ejbehr@rs6000.cmp.ilstu.edu Bitnet: ebehr@ilstu
