I'm going to bring this up from the dead with some tech info. Just about every Localtalk to Ethernet bridge made uses a Zilog SCC or compatible to interface with the Localtalk side of things. Here are the hardware specs for the "high end" Fastpath boxes. I'd imagine the Gatorbox CS uses similar hardware. Both are capable of routing Appletalk, DECNet, and TCP/IP. They can also tunnel Appletalk over TCP/IP.
Fastpath 4
CPU: 8Mhz 68000
RAM: 256k, upgradable to 512k
Localtalk Interface: Zilog SCC
Ethernet Interface: Intel i82586 10Mbit NIC
Onboard ROM has Appletalk routing software
Fastpath 5
CPU: 10Mhz 68000
RAM: 512k, PCB has solderpads to take 1MB
Localtalk Interface: Zilog Z181
Ethernet Interface: Fujitsu Etherstar 86950 10Mbit NIC
Minimal onboard boot ROM. Appletalk routing software is RAM based and has to be uploaded.
The "K-STAR" TCP/IP routing software is RAM based on both units and is an optional install. It is based on the now open source KIP routing software (later dubbed MacIP by Apple) from Stanford University.
