Well, that was because, at the time the Mac was Localtalk only and the 
Gatorbox was create to let the Mac access Ethernet... At that time a Mac 
could only communicate and therefore configure via localtalk.

Now we are using them to connect Localtalk only GSs to Mac/Ethernet 
networks. The only Gatorbox utilities are on the Mac so one needs to juggle 
a bit. (or byte)
