Lines: 28 Approved: dtynan@zorba.Tynan.COM In-Reply-To: <12378@altos86.Altos.COM> In <12378@altos86.Altos.COM> hikhar@nynexst.com asked questions regarding the use of unix machines to service Macintoshes over ethernet. My mail to him bounced, so I am posting this. ------------------------------- Please send me a summary of what you learn. In particular, (1) As you mention: is the bridge necessary for CAP? Or can you plug ethernet cards into the macs (or one of the SCSI Ethernet Boxes). (2) Is TOPS yet available for unix platforms other than SUNs? (3) CAP was originally written for BSD 4.3. Has anyone ported it to SysV? (4) An alternative is Portable Netware from Novell, which will be out late this year. Have you heard anything about this? (5) I have a number for Information Presentation Technologies (IPT), the makers of uShare. 1-818-347-7791. I haven't called them, as I am not ready to proceed yet. Good luck, and thanks in advance Dan ---- Daniel A. Graifer Franklin Capital Investments uunet!fciva!dag 7900 Westpark Drive, Suite A130 (703)821-3244 McLean, VA 22102
