I have been using CAP on a Sun386i in conjunction with a GatorBox for about
a year now and have had no problems.  The 386i was an Aufs server and worked
fairly well.  

I just picked up ru-cap2 and enet from Rutgers and installed them on our
Sparc station.  With enet on the Sparc I thought I ought to see better 
performance than on the 386i and the Gatorbox.  And lo and behold, the 
thruput was about 3 times better.  So what's the problem?

The problem is that the Aufs doesn't seem to get registered.  Or not quite.
I am also using snitch and the same problem happens.  Let me describe the
symptoms.  All our macs are directly on the backbone as are our Suns.  When
I go into the chooser on the macs and choose our backbone and Appleshare, 
the Sparc Aufs shows up, but sometimes up to about a minute may go by before
it does.  Using the DA ATVIEW, the snitch and aufs sometimes shows up and 
sometimes doesn't.  Using Inter-poll they never show up.  So what's the story?
Who maintains the name registeration info anyway?  I let Inter-poll run for 
2 min. 30 sec. and I still didn't see anything registered.  Any ideas?
