Apple has announced (but, to my knowledge not shipped) support for TCP/IP.
The product (MacTCP, or some such) allows developers to write TCP/IP
applications.  This should work over the "Apple" ethernet board, as well
as Kinetics, etc.  They should also work over LocalTalk if KIP or K-STAR
is running "nearby" (ie: in a FastPath on the LocalTalk).  I don't *believe*
the Apple code will talk to FastPath's talking the old-style Kinetics code
(called, for historical reasons, "IP subnetting").

Apple has not, to my knowledge, announced or shipped any "end user" products.

Kinetics has announced and shipped TCP/IP for Macs (both end user products
and a developer's library).  It works over all the above connectivity choices.
