I was wondering similar thoughts.  I just connected a mac with a Kinetics
EtherPort interface to our department ethernet and would really like
to have LaserWriter output appear on the LaserWriter that's attached
via RS-232 to our VAX.  Today I learned about CAP but was unhappy to
find that it only works through a gateway!  Are there any other solutions?
