[comp.protocols.appletalk] I need an overview

cory@mit-caf.MIT.EDU (Cory Myers) (11/29/88)

We are currently in the process of configuring an office of twenty
five MacPluses, Phonenet, and a laserwriter on Appletalk, and an
ethernet with a Symbolics, several small 68020 development systems,
and SUN workstation with a laserwriter into a more closely coupled
network.  We have a Kinetics FastPath (Mangager version 2.0 and EPROM
rev 3.00), K-SPOOL, and NSCA Telnet.  I have not yet completely
integrated K-SPOOL because some people in the office still have very
old version of LaserPrep.  We are process of bringing everyone up to
date.  I hope to eventually put both laserwriters on Appletalk and
spool all documents through the SUN.


I have heard about KIP and CAP and wanted to get a top-level view of
what these software package provide me with.  I am also interested in
any other public-domain packages of interest and would like to hear
recommendations for configuring our network.  Please respond by e-mail
since this question seems too general for open discussion.  I will
summarize to the net.  Thanks in advance,

It doesn't seem like there's all that much traffic here for that to
be too general a question. I, for one, would also be interested in
a KIP/CAP overview.

Due the overwhelming demand,  I'll post the article to the net & make
it available for anonymous ftp on a machine here at umich soon.
