A Telecomm/Networking Question:

I need a software and/or hardware answer to the need to connect Macs over
phone lines to other Macs, and have them all look like co-residents on the
same Appletalk zone.

I'm looking into the Shiva product line, but so far I don't see what I
need. I have a pool of high-speed Telebit modems on a Vax running Unix.
Normally, my users get access to other Unix machines via this pool and
telnet/rlogin. The Ethernet backbone is connected to Appletalk by a Fast-
path gateway. Is there any software that will allow us to dial in to the
modems and interact with the Macs on the Appletalk zone, via the TCP/IP-
Ethernet-Kinetics relay team? I'm especially interested in using Appleshare,
and maybe Tops. I see Shiva has dial-in access software for their own
products, but I already have modems and gateways, and I don't want to buy
more.
