Based on what docs I've been able to find (http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~pcfe/Gatorbox/), it sounds as though it would also work if the Gatorbox were in non-seed mode, or powered on in soft-seed mode with Netatalk already running, and its EtherTalk network range were set from 1 through 1. But I didn't want to make that assumption, and the only reason Netatalk runs in router mode anyway is to make Asante and Dayna bridges work correctly with a IIgs. So I figured it's just as easy to disable Netatalk router mode in A2SERVER if you've got a Gatorbox doing that for you.
