[comp.protocols.appletalk] AppleTalk routers

tony@scotty.dccs.upenn.edu (Anthony Olejnik) (02/07/91)

Attached is a partical summary of the various AppleTalk routes that
are out there.  I've obtained this info from magazine articles, net
postings, product brochures, etc.

I'm mainly interested in the DDP-IP (AppleTalk-Gateway) featues that
popular products such as the Fastpath and GatorBox provide.  It seems
like just a short time ago (1 year ?) the Fastpath and the GatorBox
were the only two contenders in this arena.  However, recently there
have been a number of other candidates for this (nitch ?) market.

Even though my main interest is the DDP-IP Gateway feature, I am also
interested in the various AppleTalk routers that are out there.

So, I specifically ask:

	1.) Are there AppleTalk routers that I missed?
	2.) Would someone please fill in the ? marks.
	3.) If I am wrong about the DDP-IP gateway support, please
            let me know.

Thanks.
