I'd like to post the first "dumb" questions of the New Year -- Can I use EtherTalk with Aufs (CAP50) and KIP0688? Is it possible to combine EtherTalk and LocalTalk on the same net? Here are the specifics: We currently have KIP0688 and Aufs (CAP50) running on a Sun-4 using a Kinetics-3 box that connects to 3 MACII's and 3 SE's. Everything on the MAC side is running LocalTalk. We recently inherited 3 EtherTalk boards for our MACII's. I'd like to use the EtherTalk boards on the MACIIs and leave the SE's on LocalTalk but am unwilling to do this if I loose Aufs services on the IIs. I know that KIP0688 supports EtherTalk and I know about the need to change atalkatab. But what about the CAP software? If it is possible to do this, then I have a related subquestion. Right now, our 6 machines are on the same net: 128.252.116.xxx. If I convert the MACII's to EtherTalk and leave the SEs on LocalTalk, do I need to assign the MACII's to a different net? Is it possible to have 128.252.116.2 thru .4 be my MACII's running EtherTalk and 128.252.116.5 thru .7 by my SE's running LocalTalk (nah, I doubt it...) Thanks for the help and sorry if I raised any blood pressures by asking stupid questions. Michael Kahn (InterNet: kahn@wuibc3.WUSTL.EDU)
