Hi everyone,

I've seen a lot of talk about the various forms of CAP. CAP looks 
very nice and affordable. So here's a question that I haven't seen 
discussed.

We have a lab of 10 Macintosh IIcx's. Fully loaded with 5MB each. 
We's like to interface with a SUN Sparcstation 1 to use it as a AFP 
server and also to connect with MacTCP for Mathematica.

Now putting every Macintosh on LocalTalk and then a FastPath/GatorBox 
seems like an awful bottleneck. We'd prefer to put them all on 
EtherTalk.

Is there an implementation of CAP that can connect to a Mac using 
Ethernet. That would mean that the DDP translation has to be on the 
Mac or the SUN. (I think...)

Please contact me at MD_MALAM@VAXC.STEVENS-TECH.EDU or reply to this 
mailing list.

Sincerely,
