I'm running NCSA telenet on a Mac Plus.
The Mac Plus is on AppleTalk
the AppleTalk ring has a Kinetics box.
The Kinetics box is running the gw-srec that comes with KIP
The other end of the Kinetics box is hooked to a VAX running 4.3 BSD
The VAX is also running the KIP atalkad deamon.
anyway
I finally got all of our macintoshes to be terminals/IP addresses
ftp works fine when you "put" anything from the vax or "get"
a purely data file from the mac.
The problem is that "get" grabs only the data fork, not the resource
fork or ".info" fork (if I can call it that).
Can someone help me out?
I assume I need one of
1) a mac-based program to bundle and unbundle (binhex?-yuck)
a little better would be
2) binhex on the mac before a get, then use xbin on the VAX
and a macput-like thing to recombine it while sending it to the mac.
or preferably
3) a smarter telenet/ftp server which would do this automatically.

P.S. My next project is "efs" or some other vax-based file system
for the Macs, and some laserwriter spooling from both the
VAXen and the Macs. Any hints on these would be nice too.
