- I know of two of these: the Shiva FastPath (formerly Kinetics) and the
- Cayman Gatorbox. Both have their features, but I think I'd go with the
- Gatorbox, as it seemed more stable to me, and has some neat features too.

- The only product of this type that I can think of is Apple's Internet
- Router, which requires a dedicated machine.

- It fits in to category one, and it's very much a Mac niche product,
- so I'm not terribly surprised that you couldn't find it in the Novell
- book.
- I've been out of the mac game for a couple years now, so there are
- probably other products I'm not familiar with, and I won't guarentee this
- advice is worth any more than I'm charging you. :)
