[comp.protocols.appletalk] Cayman

jqj@uoregon.UUCP (JQ Johnson) (01/30/88)

Cayman Systems recently announced a product that is a partial competitior
for the Kinetics Fastpath.  This Localtalk<->Ethernet gateway is
scheduled for shipment in April. Cayman seems more interested in
being a TCP/IP gateway than an Appletalk or DECnet gateway, which
is fine by me.  The box has a M68000 in it, I believe.

I've now reported almost all I know.  Can anyone who has more information
about this product fill us in?  Has anyone seen an Alpha test unit?

We've got a glossy only.  They advertise their own telnet and FTP programs
and Local to Ether AppleTalk bridging.  Whoever gets one first, let me
know how it compares with NCSA Telnet.
