I believe that Kinetics has mumbled in public that they have such a
beast working.  I aint seen it though.  Perhaps a flood of phone calls
would convince them they should "productize" it.

By the way, I like the name that they (as far as I know) coined for
the UDP-encapsulated AppleTalk format: "IPTalk".  I encourage its use
by the community.  I hope it's not (tm).
