We are using KIP 1/88 and CAP 4.0 with all patches aplied. I was able
to write a program that asks the FastPath about the zones, and it works
fine, although it will sometimes time-out. I concluded that KIP implements
the ZIP protocol on the AppleTalk-in-IP port, ZIP is definitely a must
on the LocalTalk and EtherTalk ports, otherwise no services would be
available to your macintoshs.

Did you enter your AppleTalk on VMS network into the atalkatab database
used by KIP? This might be the problem to watch out for.
