[comp.sys.next] CAP and AppleTalk

wieser@cs-sun-fsd.cpsc.ucalgary.ca (Bernhard Wieser) (12/16/90)

HI.  I guess this question should be:

Is AppleTalk implemented for the NeXT?  Since it could be achieved
through one of the serial ports, it seems that using CAP and a
gatorbox is a bit of overkill.

Any info., please e-mail me and I'll post a useful summary.

Steve Jobs announced in Boston a couple of weeks ago that ethertalk
will be supplied for free, thus the NeXT can be as well AppleTalk
server and client. Also a Novell client side will be freely available.
All this is supposed to happen sometime in Summer 1991.

Until then, either hack or buy.
