We've just purchased a Cayman GatorBox and are happy with it.  It's a bit
more expensive than Kinetics Fastpath, but has more functionality; in 
particular, it translates AFP to NFS protocol (network file system).
If you use NFS on your Unix network, it's the best choice.

No need for tops or anything else.  Cayman sends you (if you don't
already have it) the appleshare stuff.  Gatorbox allows login from mac to
any unix system via telnet; mounting any unix filesystems as volumes (disks)
on any mac, so you see unix files as icons, drag them around open them
directly, even automatically translates CR to/from LF; also supports sharing
of printers, and other non-supplied email stuff, though Cayman plans
