Hi,

We are considering to buy an Apple NTX Laserwriter and an EtherPrint
"Ethernet-to-LocalTalk Converter" to hook up the NTX to our Ethernet network.
The idea is to make the NTX available for all computers/workstations in our 
network. 
Our network consists of a HP 9000 series 835, several HP 9000/340 workstations,
a SUN SparcStation, a HP/Apollo series 400, a Textronix XD88/10 and an Apple
IIfx.

We have several questions on this:
1. Can the CAP package be used to convert TCP/IP packets into AppleTalk
   packets and backwards, to control the EtherPrint box from the HP?
2. Does anyone have any experience in this?
3. If CAP cannot be used, what alternatives are there?

Any help/suggestions are appreciated! Thanks in advance,
