I've trying to obtain some info about a (future ?) Kinetics product. From what I understand, recently at InterOP 89's MAC BOF gathering, Greg Minshall (of Kinetics) mentioned that Kinetics was working on an "IPtalk" driver for the Mac. This driver would replace the "EtherTalk" driver on Macs that are DIRECTLY connected to an ethernet (i.e. not indirectly via a FastPath). This "IPtalk" driver would encapsulate the AppleTalk protocols in IP on the local Mac, thus eliminating the need for a gateway such as the FastPath or the GatorBox. If anyone could provide me with additional info or an e-mail address of someone whom I could contact to find out more, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. --tony olejnik University of Pennsylvania Data Communications and Computing Services Suite 221A 3401 Walnut St. Philadelphia, PA 19104 (215) 898-9408 tony@dccs.upenn.edu tony@scotty.dccs.upenn.edu
