What a coincidence.  Just this afternoon, I was on the phone with
the K-Spool expert at Kinetics, Elaine Hideshema (sp?).  We've been using
K-Spool and NCSA-Telnet with Kinetics' Ethertalk gateway software.

We want to run CAP, so I loaded KIP into the FastPath and K-Spool won't work.

Elaine said that K-Spool will not run under the KIP code and they have no
plans to modify K-Spool so that it will.

From what I've been told (and what's in the documentation), CAP will support
postscript laser printers on appletalk just as K-Spool does.

So answer this question:
	Why did we spend $500 on K-Spool???

P.S.  I'd be very interested in hearing from anyone who was able
to get the functions USEQUOTA and USESTATFS running in CAP/AUFS on a Sun 3/50
under SunOS 3.4 or greater.  We're having some problems with this.
