... does anyone have the required patches to the kernel to have it there? Michael Fingerhut mf@ircam.ircam.fr

I've forgotten) has done Appletalk support for Ultrix using the packet filter (which is available in Ultrix 4.0). Or perhaps the rumor was that it had been done for the Stanford packet filter, which essentially the same code. At any rate, a packet-filter-based Appletalk should be usable on Ultrix 4.0 without any kernel changes; the performance should be acceptable. Also, any implementation based on Sun's NIT interface should be fairly easy to port. If anyone has better information about this, please send me mail (I don't normally read comp.protocols.appletalk). -Jeff

I haven't yet really gotten into it, and you do have to pay for it, but it should do the trick. When I have more info, I will let you all know, that is unless someone from Pacer would like to get in on the discussion...(hint, hint) :-) Mike. -- Mike Temkin mst@csun.edu Cal. State U.

In addition to Pacer, I seem to recall Mt. Xinu offering a package similar to TOPS from Sun that would run under Ultrix. We nearly bought it (this was back under Ultrix 2.2), but decided there wasn't enough local demand to justify having it (we already ran TOPS on several Suns). -- Dave Goldberg UNIX Systems Programmer/Administrator The Mitre Corporation MS B020 Bedford, MA 01730 617-271-2460 Domain: dsg@mbunix.mitre.org UUCP: linus!mbunix!dsg

I understand that DEC will have an Ultrix version of Lanworks for the Macintosh out soon (not based on Alisa code, but someone elses...). We use CAP with UAB, which provides the packet filter - you can ftp this from rutgers.edu (in src/uab+.tar.Z) Jeremy -- Jeremy Maris,Experimental Psychology,University of Sussex,Brighton,England.

You might give Helios Software GmbH a call. They have a product called EtherShare which is basically an AFP compatible fileserver for Unix. It comes also with printing support (LocalTalk, RS232 and "TCP/IP" connections). Their price list includes also an AppleTalk Toolkit, which "is a programmer's library for Unix systems. AppleTalk protocols DDP, ATP, PAP, ZIP, NBP, ADSP are supported." Both of these run (at least) on Sun 3s, 4s and on the 386i, on Sony NEWS 1700-1900s and on Digital VAX and MIPS cpus, and costs btw. 5260-7890 DM. Which OSs? Go ahead, give them a call. I haven't used the product, all the above is from their brochure and price list.

The one caveat is there seems to be a problem running on SMP class machines. This seems to be DECs problem since there wasn't supposed to be any difference to us, but we are still looking into it. The shipping version of PacerShare is a Phase 1 product, I expect our Phase II Ultrix product in 4-6 weeks. Print support via our PacerPrint product is also available.
