TOPS has been out for a couple of years, almost certainly before all but the FastPath. What else supports TOPS then? For you table, you might also wnat to add the Webster Multigate. I think I read that Shiva also announced a gateaway product. Jeff White University of Pennsylvania jeff@eniac.seas.upenn.edu

If you do something like this, please add something like: Loadable from LocalTalk Yes/No Loadable from EtherTalk Yes/No Loadable from Apple-in-IP (bootp) Yes/No I will leave it to our friends from down under to describe the Webster MultiGate, which does very well in all the categories except "Available Today In The USA" Also, another category for memory should be: Maximum expansion: X megabytes

I can't speak for the gatorbox, but I am running a FP4 and TOPS on a sun 3/180. The macs can talk to the sun with no trouble whatsoever. Since the gatorbox and do simular things to a FP4 I would assume (uh oh, here comes trouble) that it would work with tops as well. -- "Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed.

I am not sure what is meant by the "No" in the TOPS row but I know that the GatorBox can coexist with TOPS without any problems. We have tested with it extensively on our network here at Cayman. -Chris
