You may want to check out Kinetics' FastPath and EtherSC boxes. One is a
2500$ (list) gateway between AppleTalk and EtherNet (up to 32(?) Macs), the
other is a Mac->EtherNet 1250$ (list) connector (incl. transceiver). They have
software for terminal emulation and for making the UNIX host appear as a
Mac desktop (!), with every host a disk-like entity (i.e. you copy files
from host to host by click-and-drag, etc).

CENTRAM is using these boxes with their TOPS network, you may want to check
into that as well.
