Neophyte alert... [1/2 :-)]

An appletalk network was recently completed along with a mass of other
wiring.  The Fastpath has been configured, tested, and is working quite
reasonably.

We have been able to install CAP on a Sun 3/160 without any problems.
To compile on a DECstation (Ultrix 4.0), we had to tweak CAP 5.0 slightly.
CAP 6.0, however, includes Ultrix/MIPS support.

On the DECstations, the programs compile with no significant problems.
The main problem, however, is that there seems to be no "broadcasting"
of anything which is configured.  Running an atlook from the machine
which configures everything, everything appears to be there, and also
accessible.  However, machines outside of the local entity can't see
anything at all.

Up until now (and perhaps now included), the problems have been the
platform (DS3100/Ultrix 4.x).  CAP 6.0 was much better at determining
what it was looking at, but still we run into problems.

Has anyone had any experience configuring CAP in a DECstation/Ultrix
environment and managed to get it to work?  If so, I'd appreciate hearing
from you.  (Email preferred).
