Hi! Sorry for the delay, but for the macintosh systems you will probable 
want to use either the Apple IP Gateway, for single IP address sharing 
ala the ip/ipx gateways, or AppleShare IP version 5.0. AppleShare has 
various components, such as traditional AFP, FTP, print services, mail, 
and web services, including proxy services.  PDFs can be had on the web 
at <http://www.appleshareip.apple.com/appleshareip/index.html>.

>We are a large school, 1600 students, 200 staff with 400 workstations --

>Currently, we are using hardware called an Instant Internet Box to

>and to control student access to URL's (inappropriate URL's are entered
>into flash RAM and restricted from future access).  This box is time
>efficient for our network administrator and working well; however, it is
>not compatable with Macs.

>The IPX used by the instant internet box cannot be used by Macs; this has
