I am involved in a project involving a MIPS 2030 Workstation (I think;
it's running RISC/os 4.10) and a PhoneNet network.  We have acquired
a GatorBox for testing purposes, and while it seems like the right way
to go, there are some problems.
 
MacTCP has been succesfully installed on several Macs, NCSA Telnet is
working reliably, and so is ftp.  GatorShare, however, is not.  The
name of the MIPS appears in the Chooser's list of file servers, but
if I select it and attempt to connect, a dialog box appears telling me
"Unknown user or log on is disabled..." which is not the case as far
as I can tell.  Other file servers (AppleShare & Novell) come up without
a problem.
 
I have added entries to the /etc/exports corresponding to the file systems
I want to mount, and the GatorShare is configured to use /etc/passwd, not
yellow pages.
 
We would also like to get the AppleTalk laserwriters to print Unix files
directly, instead of using ftp and MacWrite, but the chapter in the GatorBox
manual describing print services is empty.  We have CAP v5.0, but can't
even get it to compile, and the documentation mentions nothing about MIPS
computers.
 
If anyone has any suggestions regarding these problems, please send e-mail,
or post here if it seems appropriate.
