[comp.protocols.appletalk] Opinions wanted on Fastpath-4 and K-STAR

	I've got a bunch of questions about the new Kinetics Fastpath-4.
What makes it so much better than a KFPS-2 (i.e. is it worth it for me to
upgrade?)  As far as I can tell, the only difference between a true KFPS-4
and an upgraded -2 is the -4 has a lot more memory.  How important is that?
How can I tell if the performance of my faithful -2 would improve if only
it had more ram?  Unfortunately, kboxen don't come with vmstat.

	How compatable is K-STAR with KIP?  Will my existing NCSA-Telnet
and CAP applications continue to run unmodified?  How does the
"auto-configuration" work?  Does that mean I can do away with my atalkatab
file (always a pain to configure properly) and the atalkd daemon?
