   Subject:  Using PCs with CAP/KIP?

       I think I remember reading that IBM PCs (clones) connected to
   Apple/LocalTalk cannot access the files on a CAP server (assuming that the net
   is connected to Ethernet via a FastPath box) - there was no client software.
   Is it possible now that Apple has released PC AppleShare??  Has anyone tried
   this yet?!

We tried this last year with a BETA copy of AppleShare PC.  After a discussion
with Charlie Kim I found out that AUFS doesn't support "short-names" which are
needed by machines with OS's which believe in eight character file names.
