I'm very news at networking and not very good in english,
so I didn't fully understood CAP's documentation.

I think that there are 3 way to install CAP 6.0 distribution:
- IPTalk or KIP
which allows to send UDP encapsulated Appletalk packets to a bridge.
- Ethertalk
which allows to directly send Appletalk packet on ethernet.
- UAB (Unix Applatalk Bridge)
But what can I do with it?

I've got the following problem:
We have Suns connected with ethernet.
We have Macintoshs connected with localtalk and ethernet.
We have bridges between ethernet and localtalk.
We have laserwriter connected to localtalk.
We are running Appletalk phase two on localtalk and ethernet (ethertalk?).
I'd like to be able to print on laserwriters from Suns.
Can I use CAP to do this?

Thank in advance for your help.
