We run all of our Macs on LocalTalk networks connected to our IP networks
using FastPath 5 boxes. CAP servers are running on Unix hosts scattered all
over the place and the world is a wonderful place.

However, what I need to do now is hook up an external site running EtherTalk
phase I and II networks. We have an existing IP connection to this site
(using cisco routers), but our normal 'throw a FastPath at it' solution is
not going to work, we need to encapsulate packets from the EtherTalk thin-net
onto the IP thin-net.

Is there a box that does this for me? a FastPath with two thin-net
interfaces is really what I'm after (I guess).
