Subject: Speeding CAP file access for EtherTalk Macs.

I am hoping to improve the file-access speed of our MACS running EtherTalk
in getting files from our UNIX file-servers running CAP.
If I understand things correctly, the Ether-MACS are sending appletalk packets
to our K-box which are then wrapped in an IP packet and forwarded
to the UNIX boxes.  As the Ether-MACS and the UNIX machines are on the
same cable, there is I hope a better way available.

Is there a way to either:
	1) get the EtherTalk macs to send ip-encapsulated packets.

	or

	2) get CAP to receive appletalk packets directly from the
		ethernet?
