I have an ethernet with no appletalk and all the boxes are connected directly to it are talking TCP/IP (ala ncsa telnet) or EtherTalk. What I would like to do is install CAP to serve some disks and printers (can't connect lasers to ether) for the Macs. Do I have to get a Kinetics or Gator to do make it work? Can I actually run the KIP code on a unix box instead to impersonate one? Thanks Barbara J. Dyker dyker@amaze.uucp

Thanks to everyone that pointed me to UAB available from cunixc.columbia.edu (128.59.40.130). Now can someone tell me what this gem in the UAB doc really means: "CAP programs must be relinked with a different low level delivery mechanism to work with UAB." What low level delivery mechanism? There is nothing in the UAB or CAP doc that explains what is needed here to get this to work. The UAB doc looks like it was written for people that don't need it. Thanks again.

No, it is fairely easy to use uab. 1. Compile the standard cap libraries first and install them. 2. Compile and install uab. 3. Replace the abkip.c in cap with the abmkip.c from the uab source and remake cap and install the programs. That is about all that is needed. I have one small patch to uab that you might need. If you can wait one week I plan to release my version of uab and cap with instructions to use. My cap constains several fixes to make aufs faster. Dan
