Hello Newsworld,
	I am looking for some way to bridge my Apple Macintosh 512KE
(basically a MacPlus with only 512K Ram and original Mac128K comm.
ports) to a UNIX-PC7300 (3B1) machine.  I have three RS-232 ports
configured on the UNIX-PC and have the modem port (or printer port)
available on my Mac.  I heard there is a product by Cayman which will
allow you to bridge the Mac to a Unix machine (supporting ethernet).
I think it is called GatorBox or something like that. Supposedly you can 
see the Unix filesystem on the desktop as files and folders and can 
manipulate them as standard Mac files.  Also, the package includes file 
conversion utilities to go from Unix format to Mac format and back-again.  
Any info on this package would be greatly appreciated.
	I am open to ANY other methods/packages/application that
will allow me to access the files on my UNIX-PC via RS-232 and a Mac
software package (name, price, supplier would be great).  Again, any
info on this stuff at all or any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated!  I'd even go so far as writing a custom Unix driver if
I had to.  Ideas on that would be appreciated as well.
	Thanks in advance!!!!!
