[comp.protocols.appletalk] KIP, CAP, clunk.

I have an se30 w/ether, and a sun3/50.  I'd like to have an invisible
file system running between them (or at least server on sun, client on
mac).  Can anyone give me any pointers?

As I can put it together the story goes something like this.  (After
wasting my weekend.)

What I have on my mac is drivers for appletalk in ether (aka, ethertalk).

Kip is a bit of strange code for downloading a set of drivers to a
kinetics box.  The available drivers are { appletalk | ethertalk |
appletalk in ip (aka, doubletalk) } to KIP.  KIP is a sort of
appletalk encapsulated in UDP.

CAP is a lot of the appletalk services running on unix based on
receiving KIP packets.  that is, appletalk in UDP.

So it looks like I need in order to run CAP (with the given hardware)
is either a mac driver that encapsulates appletalk in KIP, or a sun
driver that reads ethertalk.  Is there an alternate approach?  How are
other people doing this?
