I have several FastPaths 4, ROM 5.1, K-Star 9.1. They work fine. What I
want to do is to connect a group (2-3 Macs and a printer) which are located
at an odd place via a Dyana EtherPrint Plus to our EtherNet. I think these Macs 
can use MacTCP and one one of these FastPath will do the DDP/IP conversion. 
I guess it has do with the "IP forwarding for EtherTalk" switch in the Shiva 
NetManager setup. 
My questions are:
a) Is this correct?
b) What restrictions do exist for the IP-addresses of these Macs? Can I still 
use static addresses for these Macs (within the range the FastPath is set to
administer)?
c) What performance can I expect? What sideeffects does it have for the Macs 
connected to the LocalTalk side?
d) Anythink else to consider?
