experiment 1: running the same UDP.srec, and the same kinetics config file, I set up the KIP files and launched atalkad, and then tried out various CAP things. I can't use the KIP ddt because I don't have a vax, and the code don't seem to be compilable on a sun. All I see is that the CAP samples can't find anything to talk to. I also don't have a ping on the Mac side. experiment 2: I used PC-link to slurp the AT.SREC.3 file that is in the archive with KIP, and loaded that into the kinetics. Now neither pc-link nor cap gets anyplace. On the other hand, I used my usual config file. It seems benign, but it does force the ktalk/prompt to show the UDP button instead of the DDP button, which makes me suspicious. Can anyone help me get CAP on the air? If I succeed, what code should I be using for file transfer? The mac-ip we got don't work with a hard disk, because it requires a driver to be in the system file but dosen't come with an installer script. glurp. Benson I.

I am in the process of installing kip and cap on a Kinetics FastPath, and having some problems. The server is an Encore Multimax running UMAX 4.2 (close to BSD 4.2). I'm having a bit of a problem with atis and NBP, I think. Atistest runs OK, and atlook finds all the devices on the localtalk net, but if I start a server (lwsrv or aufs) it can not be seen either by the macs on the localtalk, or by atlook. An atis dump shows that the server is registered, but (my guess is that) the name server is not responding to lookup requests. Should atlook see entities registered on the name server? And if it should, any idea why it might not? None of the log files are indicating any errors. Other data: we're only using one appletalk zone, with three appletalk nets for localtalk, ethertalk, and appletalk-in-ip. There are no gateways between the Kinetics box and the multimax. Any help anyone can give will be greatly appreciated. +---------+ Chris Vagnini ++--------+| "As a rule, hackers do not || ENCORE || chrisv@multimax.ARPA handle obsolescence well." -- Opus |+--------++ chrisv@encore.UUCP +---------+ {bu-cs,decvax,necntc,talcott}!encore!chrisv
