San Jose, Calif. Lines: 6 Has anyone written a device driver, perhaps a network adev which allows Mac II's directly connected to the Ethernet via Appl/3Com EtherTalk cards to directly send and receive KIP packets from a UNIX host running CAP without going through a KPFS or GatorBox gateway? This would avoid the extra traffic of the gateway acting as a middleman simply to convert KIP-style packets to EtherTalk and back.
