I'm suffering from a considerable confusion about kip/cap/kinetics. Here's a plea for help from anybody who got there first. Our original goal was file transfer between suns and macs. We bought a fast-path-2 by way of pacer software, inc, who sold it to us along with their pc-link product. We got: the Ktalk/Prompt mac disk. the MacIP disk. and the PC-link code. We configure the kinetics in UDP mode, load the UDP.srec that came on the Ktalk/Prompt disk, use subnets, and everything works. So far so good. Now, we want to run CAP. experiment 1: running the same UDP.srec, and the same kinetics config file, I set up the KIP files and launched atalkad, and then tried out various CAP things. I can't use the KIP ddt because I don't have a vax, and the code don't seem to be compilable on a sun. All I see is that the CAP samples can't find anything to talk to. I also don't have a ping on the Mac side. experiment 2: I used PC-link to slurp the AT.SREC.3 file that is in the archive with KIP, and loaded that into the kinetics. Now neither pc-link nor cap gets anyplace. On the other hand, I used my usual config file. It seems benign, but it does force the ktalk/prompt to show the UDP button instead of the DDP button, which makes me suspicious. Can anyone help me get CAP on the air? If I succeed, what code should I be using for file transfer? The mac-ip we got don't work with a hard disk, because it requires a driver to be in the system file but dosen't come with an installer script. glurp. Benson I.
