[comp.protocols.appletalk] CAP5.0 with Sun 386i's and a GatorBox - problems?

kovar@husc4.HARVARD.EDU (David Kovar) (08/31/88)

  Well, once again, I've moved. Once again, I have to get Macs talking to
  various other things intelligently. Cayman's GatorBox is a very nice
  product and I endorse it whole heartedly. Their superb support staff
  makes the product even more appealing.

  Now, for the problem: Running atlook from a Sun386i, the only replies
  that make it all the way back are replies containing more than one
  entity, for example, a reply coming back from a machine running TOPS.
  Any single entity replies, such as a LaserWriter, fail to make it all
  the way back up to NBP on the Sun. The Reply packets are appearing on
  the Ethernet side of the GatorBox intact, so that is not a problem
  and I got as far as looking at LkUpReply in abnbp.c and the packets
  are vanishing before that point.

  Unfortunately, I am swamped in other work so, before I bury myself
  in the CAP code, has anyone seen this sort of behavior before and,
  if so, can they recommend a solution?

  Thanks, in advance. I suggest that replies are posted for the time
  being, I'm still not sure about getting mail at this address.
  kovar@husc4.harvard.edu should be the right mail address if you're
  willing to risk it, despite the husc4.UUCP that the mailer added.
