People should be aware that there is more to a Kbox (and more still to
a Gatorbox) than simply AppleTalk routing.  Support for IP packet
forwarding, IP address assignment, etc, that is, all the things you
need to run Mac/IP or NCSA Telnet through a LocalTalk-Ethernet
connection, is completely independent of AppleTalk routing.  My
impression is that Liaison (which I have *not* worked with) is *only*
an AppleTalk router, and so does not support the IP functions.

It would seem to me not too difficult in principle to port KIP to run
on a Ethernet-attached Mac.  Hackers of the world?
