 There is one more, it's compatibility system in Boulder, CO. 
 Don't have their phone and address handy, but them should have ADs in Mac type
 magazines. 
 As the price, they typical listed for $495 or less and mail order price is
 about $400. However most of them has 50% or so of educational discount for
 school, which bring the price down to $250 to $300 range.

 They use the SCSI bus to transmit information between the computer and the
 Ethernet, so it needs to share the SCSI bus witht other SCSI device (mainly
 the hard drive). This sometime will limit the overall transfer rate, but for
 most application they performed quite well.
 
 There is no softwrae for ST to drive such SCSI-Ethernet device, otherwise it
 would be a good way to add Ethernet access to ST, TT etc. Once the drive is
 availible, then the NCSA telnet shouldn't be not far way from porting to ST.
 
 We have 4 or 5 of the compatibility system's SCSI-Ethernet boxes for the Macs
 in the department. They are a small box of 5" X 6" X 1.5" in size, powered by
 a DC wall plug supply, a 25pins SCSI connector, a BNC connector for the thin
 net, a thicknet connector. It can tie to thin, thick and twist pair type
 Ethernet wiring. And internally has 32K(or 64KB, forgot the number) buffer.
 They can easily installed to any Mac with SCSI port (or any machine with SCSI
 port, but if I remember right, they only have Mac driver and maybe IBM and Unix
 but certainly not ST).
