I'm running NCSA telenet on a Mac Plus.
The Mac Plus is on AppleTalk
the AppleTalk ring has a Kinetics box.
The Kinetics box is running the gw-srec that comes with KIP
The other end of the Kinetics box is hooked to a VAX running 4.3 BSD
The VAX is also running the KIP atalkad deamon.

anyway

I finally got all of our macintoshes to be terminals/IP addresses

ftp works fine when you "put" anything from the vax or "get"
a purely data file from the mac.

The problem is that "get" grabs only the data fork, not the resource
fork or ".info" fork (if I can call it that).


Can someone help me out?


I assume I need one of
  1) a mac-based program to bundle and unbundle (binhex?-yuck)

      a little better would be

  2) binhex on the mac before a get, then use xbin on the VAX
     and a macput-like thing to recombine it while sending it to the mac.

      or preferably

  3) a smarter telenet/ftp server which would do this automatically.

P.S. My next project is "efs" or some other vax-based file system
     for the Macs, and some laserwriter spooling from both the
     VAXen and the Macs. Any hints on these would be nice too.
