Keywords: CAP, Fastpath Message-ID: Date: 13 Sep 90 04:11:12 GMT References: <457@fuhainf.UUCP> <1990Sep11.140949.2223@cs.utk.edu> Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 30 To: mccaslan@cs.utk.edu I just sent a general explanation of CAP, KIP, etc. For your specific configuration, which seems to be Localtalk, Ethernet, KFPS, and a Sun 4, things are real simple. You should use anonymous FTP to athos.rutgers.edu, and retrieve from the pub directory etalk.tar.Z, enet.shar, and etalk-conversion.doc. etalk.tar.Z contains the version of CAP set up for Ethertalk, with binaries for Sun 4. I believe you can do "make install" to install the software, though it may not install a couple of things (atis and aarpd, both of which I'd put in /usr/local/cap). There is documentation with it. etalk-conversion.doc is a cookbook for moving from an old CAP version to Ethertalk. In fact I think those instructions are good enough for setting up Ethertalk CAP from scratch, except that you'll need to look at man pages for the daemons to know how to set them up. enet.shar tells you have to install the Ethernet packet filter in your kernel. (No source is needed, but you must have 4.0.3 or later.) There's an alternative version that uses /dev/nit if you absolutely refuse to modify your kernel. I believe the documentation describes how to use it. With this software, you set up your KFPS4 in the obvious way. No IPTalk is needed to talk Appletalk to the Sun. However you will want to half-configure IPTalk if you intend to use things like NCSA telnet on your Mac. (They need a subset of the IPTalk support to assign IP addresses.) The idea is that you turn on IPTalk on the KFPS 4, and give it an IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and number of hosts. But you don't put in a zone name or network number for the IPTalk, nor do you give it the address of an atalkatab administrator host. If you're using the newest KFPS 4 software, there will be buttons for how to get IPTalk configuration info, offering atalkd, tftp, or none. Choose none.
