- We run all of our Macs on LocalTalk networks connected to our IP networks
- using FastPath 5 boxes. CAP servers are running on Unix hosts scattered all
- over the place and the world is a wonderful place.
-
- However, what I need to do now is hook up an external site running EtherTalk
- phase I and II networks. We have an existing IP connection to this site
- (using cisco routers), but our normal 'throw a FastPath at it' solution is
- not going to work, we need to encapsulate packets from the EtherTalk thin-net
- onto the IP thin-net.
-
- Is there a box that does this for me? a FastPath with two thin-net
- interfaces is really what I'm after (I guess).
