-
- There are two low end Ethernet-to-Ethernet routers that route AppleTalk and
- TCP/IP.
-
- Cayman Systems announced last week the GatorBox EX, an Ethernet to Ethernet
- router that supports AppleTalk, TCP/IP, and DECnet routing between two
- Ethernet interfaces. The GatorBox EX has a Motorola 68030 running at 40MHz
- and comes with 2Mb of SIMM DRAM, expandable to 16Mb.
-
- Compatible Systems also manufactures an Ethernet-to-Ethernet router. I
- am not in possesion of technical specs about their product.

- As always, questions can be sent to me directly at glen@cayman.com or to
