-- We have several Mac LocalTalk networks which we would like to provide with a TCP/IP connection. The SPECS: At the moment, at least two networks have access to a VAX through an Appletalk Internet Router (running on a IIci connected to LocalTalk and Ethernet) via the PATHWORKS Appletalk/Decnet gateway. Unfortunately that Vax Software Gateway only translates from ADSP to Vax NSP. (Allowing file, printer sharing and terminal services from the VAX.) The Question: The TCP/IP can coexist with Appletalk on Localtalk, and we would like an inexpensive gateway solution which would translate only between the MacTCP and Ethernet TCP/IP. [In techincal terms it is called (by DEC) a DDP-IP gateway.] Are there any gateways other than fastpath or gatorbox which do this task exclusively ?? Any help will be appreciated. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- E.J.
