[comp.protocols.appletalk] CAP, KIP, AUFS, Next questions

laa@lanl.gov (Lee A Ankeny) (01/17/90)

I would like to run AUFS (CAP's AppleShare file server) on a Next. All our
Macintoshes have ethernet cards (or SCSI/ethernet adapters) and sit directly
on ethernet. Our printers all reside on a localtalk network. Ethernet and
LocalTalk are currently bridged with Liason, running on a MacII.

I have a couple of questions for you CAP people:

1) Has anyone set up CAP for the Next?

2) Is KIP really necessary to run CAP (or at least AUFS)?

3) Is a Kinetics box really necessary for CAP, and if so,
   will a FastPath II do the job? (One is readily available to me.)

I got part way through the installation on the Next, but not being a Unix type
I got bogged down. Specifically, I couldn't get one of the diff files to patch
back together, and a couple of files required by the make files were missing
(a 680x0 assembler, I think).

I'm using CAP 5.0 (May 1988). 

I got the diff shar file from SUMEX. It is dated Feb 9, 1989 (I couldn't find
a real version number).
