        At HSR we have installed one Kinetics FastPath 4. I found that while
the documentation looked very nice, the content left something to be desired.
After lots of trying and failing I finally got the K-Star program working (this
involved a transatlantic phone call to Kinetics).
The main use is terminal emulation to a Sun 3, a vms VaxCluster and a ND-560. W
use version 2.2 of NCSA telnet and a specialised TDV 2209 emulator to the ND-56
both on Macintosh SEs. We have yet to try these on a MAC II (lack of telephone
wire). We also got a program called K-spool for our Sun (or one of our Suns). W
do not know whether this works or not (not my problem anyway).

        Installation of the K-star program is easy when one knows how, but I
found that getting to know was rather tedious. I'm convinced that Kinetics
could improve the control software for the FastPath so that it would be easier
to use for people like myself. Having said this we have found nothing to
complain about after we found out how to make K-star work.

        Conclusion: Either Kinetics should improve their documentation or I
should get smarter (or both).
