[comp.protocols.appletalk] CAP/KIP configuration questions

AppleTalk Gods:

We're trying to set up one of our SparcStations as a AppleShare File server
using CAP 6.0. Our set-up is:

A sparc 1+ sitting on our ethernet (eventually) running aufs, a kinetics 
fastpath gateway to the localtalk network on which all of our Macs live.
Our laserwriter is on the localtalk network.

My questions:

1. Do I need KIP? OR can I run CAP with 'native ethertalk'? What does
this mean anyway?

2. If I need KIP, where do I get the most current version? We don't have
a 68000 compiler on any of our Unix boxes (the last Sun3 is gone), so we
don't really have the means to compile any code. (I'm referring to some 
comments from the install instructions from an 0688 release of KIP)

3. Is there a good reference available for general AppleTalk network 
administration? (i.e. simple introduction, but with depth as you get into it,
clear definitions, examples, etc.)

Thanx in advance!
