[comp.protocols.appletalk] Interbridge/Kinetics FastPath

I am having problems with connecting a remote network via Interbridges.
The local LocalTalk network is comprised of two subnets using ethernet
as a high speed link.  Subnet A has an Interbridge on it (ROM version
1.07), an AppleShare fileserver, printer, and an Intermail server for
people that are not part of the local organization.  Subnet B has an
AppleShare fileserver, printers, and an Intermail server for users of
the local network.

When the remote connection is made, remote users can see all equipment
located on the same subnet as the Kinetics box (subnet A), but the
cannot see anything on subnet B (or equipment in any other zone).  In
short, remote users cannot see across 2 Kinetics boxes.

Does anyone have information as to why this setup is not working?  Does
information about the remote zone need to be included in the atalkatab
for the Kinetics boxes?  (for info, gateways are booted with KIP0688
with a CMU modified srec file).

Any info would be appreciated.
