Thanks a bunch for making me do the work to keep spam out of your mailbox.

The Kenetics and later Shiva FastPath boxes are ethernet to LocalTalk
bridges, and just full of all the best features like supporting a whole
Lan of devices instead of one or a few, and encapsulating TCP/IP packets.
All the information is on the Shiva web site if you dig just a bit.

BTW the software to administer them runs only under MacOS, otherwise they
are network devices that don't care what sort of machine or OS the packet
come or go to.

I have some fastpath 4 and 5 boxes, email me if interested.
