- In an office of a number of people, the Cayman Gator box is an Ideal
- solution. It is an appletalk-ethernet NFS router. It also supports
- telnet and printing from the Unix system to an Apple laserwriter.
- (Postscript or plain text) It allows you to set up 'tunnels form your
- appletalk through etihernet to another Gatorbox somewhere else. In my
- case I can "choose" a printer in Ft. Lauderdale, Houston Dallas or Boston
- from my location in Washington D.C. They cost about $2000 so you do
- need several users to make in cost effective. A mounted Unix file system
- simply appears as a disk Icon on my desktop. I have 5 Mac Pluses and Se
- in my office. It is easy to adminster
