Sun sells an Internetwork Router that runs in a pair of Suns (one on
either end of a serial link) that handles TCP/IP gatewaying without
being especially 'interesting'.  It can run at low speeds (9600) using
the serial ports on the CPU board, or for 56KBit operation a comm board
with its own processor is supported.
