I have a rather strange question:
I am looking for a way for two macs on seperage networks (routed by
seperate cisco routers) to share printers and file services from within
CAP.
I have heard of this being done with Kinetics boxes and such (I think,
but it was a while ago), but never with just unix boxes.
Our setup is this: we have a secure net routed by one cisco, and a main
net routed by another. There are some printers hanging off the main net
that people on the secure net want access to. We could just let AppleTalk
stuff go through, but we would rather control it to a greater degree.
The printers aren't a big deal, because we can just run CAP on both sides
and then push lpr across the routers, but I also need to use macdump to
backup machines on the secure side to a unix-disk on the main side.
I know all of this probably doesn't make much sense, but we really do need
help, and I would appreciate anyone who has any advice, or anyone who
thinks they might be able to help, but doesn't quite understand the
question to reply to me.
Somewhere there must be a unix-based addition to CAP that allows macs to
print and get files across the internet with tcp/ip.
Once again, help would be appreciated,
Vaughan
