   Have anyone in the list installed ARNS? 
   Is it fast?

I have only tried the clients, not the ARNS Server.  I'm looking for
someone who has a test ARNS server up in North America.  I have been
able to print to the LaserWriter at mullala.cs.mu.oz.au, but I can't
get the AppleShare to work properly over a 12000 mile Internet link.

   The current description we have limit the remote appletalk access 
   via TCP/IP to macintosh in a ethernet network. Have anyoune tried
   with Clients on appletalk+Kinetics+ethernet nets? which is the
   limitation?

For Macs not equipped with direct EtherTalk connections, I have tried
the Async AppleTalk dial-up to a Unix host running the Unix side of
the Async client.  The performance to the ARNS Server at Mullala
is the same for Async AppleTalk as for IPRemote.  The globe-girdling
connection is a bit too unreliable and delay-laden to be a good test.
