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.
