I have just reconfigured my Kinetics Fastpath box to allow the new spooling and remote software from Kinetics, KTALK and KSPOOL, to work. Unfortunately, the changes in the configuration seem to have kiboshed my Unix Appleshare server, using the KIP/CAP software. The problem, I think, has to do with subnetting somehow, which we are using now and weren't before. If anyone out there has any experience with these packages, or is a real KIP/CAP expert, please either post or e-mail. I'd be very greatful.

I'd be very greatful. What a coincidence. Just this afternoon, I was on the phone with the K-Spool expert at Kinetics, Elaine Hideshema (sp?). We've been using K-Spool and NCSA-Telnet with Kinetics' Ethertalk gateway software. We want to run CAP, so I loaded KIP into the FastPath and K-Spool won't work. Elaine said that K-Spool will not run under the KIP code and they have no plans to modify K-Spool so that it will. From what I've been told (and what's in the documentation), CAP will support postscript laser printers on appletalk just as K-Spool does. So answer this question: Why did we spend $500 on K-Spool???

I'd be very interested in hearing from anyone who was able to get the functions USEQUOTA and USESTATFS running in CAP/AUFS on a Sun 3/50 under SunOS 3.4 or greater. We're having some problems with this.

I think that this stuff belongs in comp.protocols.appletalk Perhaps comp.protocols.appletalk should be renamed comp.dcom.lans.protocols.appletalk or something similar to prevent this sort of confusion. >P.S.

We're having some problems with this. Avoid SunOS 3.4 - the networking code doesn't interoperate (ie fails) in mysterious ways. Get SunOS release 3.5, which should be avaiable now. Quotas and such don't always work as you'd expect with NFS-mounted file systems. -- - Ralph W.
