Message-ID: Date: 22 May 89 18:36:14 GMT Sender: rich@sendai.UUCP Reply-To: rich@sendai.ann-arbor.mi.us Distribution: comp Organization: Digital Works, Ltd. - Ann Arbor, MI Lines: 24 I have an se30 w/ether, and a sun3/50. I'd like to have an invisible file system running between them (or at least server on sun, client on mac). Can anyone give me any pointers? As I can put it together the story goes something like this. (After wasting my weekend.) What I have on my mac is drivers for appletalk in ether (aka, ethertalk). Kip is a bit of strange code for downloading a set of drivers to a kinetics box. The available drivers are { appletalk | ethertalk | appletalk in ip (aka, doubletalk) } to KIP. KIP is a sort of appletalk encapsulated in UDP. CAP is a lot of the appletalk services running on unix based on receiving KIP packets. that is, appletalk in UDP. So it looks like I need in order to run CAP (with the given hardware) is either a mac driver that encapsulates appletalk in KIP, or a sun driver that reads ethertalk. Is there an alternate approach? How are other people doing this? -- rich.
