Subject: Need PAP for DS5000 and Ethertalking MACs

We are an academic CS dept. running PCs, MACs, DECStations (Ultrix 4.0),
a Sequent, and several 3B2s. We have an HP LaserJet with PostScript hanging
off a DECStation 5000, and the other DECStations and the PCs can use it
just fine. I want to allow the MACS (through PAP) access to this printer.
I can certainly go through the work to install CAP, but after ftping it
and browsing the files, I note two things: (1) it's not indicated that
it will run on the DECStation/Ultrix (in fact, one poster noted some
problems with that configuration) and (2) I don't want/need all the extra
stuff that CAP gives me.

Is there someone who has implemented PAP for a generic UNIX system (is
there such a thing?) using something like DLI to access the ethernet?
I forgot to mention above that all of our machines are connected to
thin wire, including the MACs (they run NCSA telnet and ftp for net
access, but do have Ethertalk installed).
