Best to check with Infosphere to ensure they support routing to a SCSI connected NODEM. (1-800-445-7085) Assuming Liason supports NODEMs you'll be limited to EtherTalk protocols with your Sun. I don't believe that Liason yet incorporates the embedded IP-in-LocalTalk processing that FastPaths and GatorBoxes have. (eg. strip off ALAP and DDP from such packets and tack on ethernet addresses with an IP frame type of 0800.) cheers, Ben Schmidt, Information Systems, BNR Bitnet: bschmidt@bnr.ca

It does not do IP processing either. cheerio, George Bray AppleLink: AUST0287 MacNet: GEO Pager:075-50-7004 Byte Technologies CompuServe: 72711,253 Phone:075-95-4093 at Bond University Internet: geo@surf.sics.bu.oz.au Fax: 075-95-4088 "Caves are cool - let's get out there and relate to it." - Zaphod.
