The solution was given me by Hans Streibel, and was very simple ( but not obvious
to a simple person like myself ;-)

In the start-cap-servers file I had:

${CAP}/aarpd le0 "CSC Staff"       #aarpd using NIT

when I should have had:

${CAP}/aarpd enet0 "CSC Staff"      #aarpd using ENET
             ^^^^^
Perhaps this could be documented somewhere in the CAP documentation?

Thanks again,

Rob.

The initial project we're doing is printing from 1 MAC to a SUN printer
(we just have 1 MAC, no appletalk network). The Mac is connected to a GatorBOX.
What entry do I put in /etc/atalk.local ?
Also, do we have to put an entry for every mac (attached to its own GatorBox),
that is allowed to use this service?

Can CAP support macs differntly connected to the network, e.g. some with
GatorBoxes and some with an ethernet card directly connected to the ip
network.

Can CAP support printing from unix workstations to an Apple LaserPrinter?
If so, how do we modify the installation process?

I am seeking methods to provide a dial-out modem pool on my AppleTalk

I already have several modems, and would prefer to use them rather

Does anyone have experience with Solana Electronics' C-Server or
Shiva's NetSerial for this purpose?

Are there any other alternatives that I'm overlooking?

Folks,
     This may be a FAQ, but I did not see it in looking back thru
my archives of this group.

     Has anyone installed a NuvoLink SC on a Mac Plus to allow it
to communicate on an ethernet?  I have been seeing that advertised
for $249 and would like to get the Mac I have talking to some enet
un*x boxes.  This seemed to be a reasonable price vs the $1500 that
would be required to hook up a fastpath or gator box.

Greetings all,

I was just brought on to my site here a few months ago and now that a lot

One things I noticed was the fact that our lab (consisting of 30 macs and
3 laserwriters plus a spooler) are all one leg of a passive star.
 
What do I mean?  Well, according to GraceLan's topology map all devices are
connected off of one leg...Apple reccommends only 5 per leg...
what can I do?

Well, if you're asking about _physical_ ports, no, probably not.  But there are
several instances in which you'd want multiple _logical_ ports, the most
obvious of which would be in the case of a transition router, which would
have both Phase 1 and Phase 2 ports connected to the same port.
 second case is that of a multiprotocol router.  In that case, the other ports
wouldn't be _AppleTalk_ ports, but perhaps IPX or MacTCP or something.

>7. If we decide to make the Router an NVE by giving it a name, should it have one name per port or just one name for the entire Router? The latter one simplifies topology diagrams in any network management tool.

You should _definitely_ make your router network-visible, so netadmins can 
keep track of it with tools like NetWatchman or Caravelle NetWorks.  Most
vendors register one NBP socket per major service on the first LocalTalk port.
So you might have one socket identifying the type of router, and one for 
your SNMP service, for instance.

We have just upgraded our Webster MPGs to Megan 2.09 and Phase 2.
However, there the network range number is 6.240 to 6.240.  Could
this be the problem?  The ability to select a zone comes and goes
on the Mac every second or so.  I open the EtherTalk adev and
there are no zones.  I hit CANCEL and try again, I get all the zones.
About 80% of the time I cannot choose zones.  However, if I manage
to choose another zone, I am invisible on the Chooser of other Macs.

I am running native Ethertalk, by the way.

aarpd "needs" two arguments. The first is the ethernet interface that you
wish to use (eg: le0, the command 'netstat -i' lists the interfaces that
are available) and the second argument is a valid zone name for the network.
You can also add the interface and zone name to the etalk.local file and not
provide aarpd with any arguments but this method is not recommended. See the
aarpd manual entry in cap60/man/aarpd.8.

>What is the "best" configuration for a mixed network IPTalk, NIT, or enet?

If you have ANY Macs on EtherTalk then use either NIT or ENET in preference
to IPTalk. If you don't mind some minor kernel fiddling then use ENET in
preference to NIT.

I encountered similar problems when installing CAP on my DECstation.
Starting lock/stat daemons didn't help much. It may be sufficient in your case.
Disabling all LOCK lines in m4.setup was the required remedy for me.

Basically, your info is spot on; the main problems we had with CAP 5 were
(a) the System 7 problems of which you write and (b) problems under any
system with partitions mounted over NFS (timeout problems mainly).

Both of these problems were cured by upgrading to CAP 6, with the added
niceties of the enet driver which makes everything work horrendously quickly !

In a nutshell, go for the upgrade !

If you have license for MacTCP, and it sounds like you do, developer toolkit
is included in the distribution package together with the developer manual.
If you don't have license from Apple, but got MacTCP with a product, you may
get the toolkit directly from APDA ($100) and probably Apple UK.  It allows
you to use C or Pascal to write software that uses MacTCP directly, which
I believe is pretty much what you are looking for.           Robert
