We wrote a software able to connect distant AppleTalk networks. It has been
successfully tested between several Universities in France.

With it, you may connect two or more Ethertalk nets. All you have to do
is to write a simple network numbers file, to avoid AppleTalk net numbers
conflicts, and run the soft on any Unix machine located on same Ethernet
cable as one of your Appletalk routers. Ten minutes should be enough to
configure it. It can also be used as an ordinary Appletalk router, for
instance on a Sun4 with two Ethernet devices.

Hardware requirements:
A Unix machine with the /dev/nit device, for instance any sun4 on sparc station.

Software requirements:
GCC 2.2.2

The package is an ordinary .tar.Z file, with installation guide and manpages
included.

I would be interested in having it tested on some foreign sites. Just send
me some mail. 

The software is also able to export a KIP network, but you may not see the foreign
nets from inside the KIP network, unless you modify your local atalkatab file.
