Re: Anybody use a Shiva FastPath to network IIgs to PC?

Hi Marsha,

Thanks very much for shaing the information and your experiences with the
FastPath!  I guess if a Linux box can talk properly across such a link, then
a PC running either PC MacLan or Win2K AppleTalk Services should probably
work, too.  I'll be sure to post any results if I can lay my hands on a
GatorBox CS (I also see them come up on eBay now and then...)

Cheers
Tim
