[comp.protocols.appletalk] questions from a beginner

1) APPLESHARE UNDER VMS
   Has anyone ported the Columbia Software to VMS?  If not, are there
   any other packages that will support Appleshare from a VMS machine?

2) MAC FILE SERVERS DOUBLING AS APPLETALK-SLIP GATEWAYS
   We have one 'island' appletalk network. Ideally, I would like to run
   a 9600 baud or higher serial line between two mac file servers, one on
   the island link, and the other mac file server hooked up hooked up to
   the ethernet via a Kinetics Box. Has anyone had experience in setting
   up a Mac as both an Appleshare file server *and* an Appletalk/Slip gateway?

3) NCSA TELNET AND KA9Q COMPATABILITY QUESTION
   I have been experimenting with NCSA Telnet 2.2 and a 1987 version of
   KA9Q for the Mac. They don't seem to be compatable over Appletalk --
   I suspect that they are using different Appletalk protocol numbers.
   The KA9Q uses 0x7e I think. What protocol number does NCSA Telnet
   use? (Note: I'd rather use just NCSA Telnet, it doesn't seem to
   be able to gateway to SLIP like KA9Q can.)

4) WHERE IS KA9Q and STANFORD IP NOW?
   Where can I get a copy of the most recent KA9Q and/or the Stanford
   Mac package? I haven't heard too much said about Mac KA9Q, so perhaps
   it has been superceded by the Stanford stuff.

5) HOW ARE THEY ALL RELATED?
   Has anyone drawn a family tree for PC implementations of TCP-IP?
   I think for the IBM PC it looks something like:

        KA9Q
       /                      ?
   MIT PC-IP ---- CMU PC-IP ---- NCSA 
       \
	FTP software

Where does the MAC stuff come from?

	Thanks,
