   My impression is that, its marketing literature to the contrary, the
   Cayman Gatorbox is not yet capable of acting as an AppleTalk bridge...

We use them here as routers, with Shiva NetBridge, Hayes InterBridge,
FP-3, FP-4.  To be honest, there have been bugs in our AppleTalk
routing code which have been largely corrected in the last two
releases (v1.25 is the latest). There are (always) some remaining bugs,
but they don't, to my knowledge, affect the functionality of the appletalk
router.  I am under the impression that many (most?) of our customers use
the AppleTalk routing features.

(the worst problem is that our atalkad support is largely symbolic at this
point, something I am working hard to correct).

If you are having problems with the GatorBox's AppleTalk routing, I urge
you to send mail (support@cayman.com, or me, brad@cayman.com) or
call Throop Wilder at (617) 494-1999.
