We can't seem to get CAP to recognize either of the QMS printers that we
have had in here on demo. atlooklws can't find them, and atlook does show
anything that might be the printers responder.

Has anyone else seen this???

Do you have a fix?

Any help would be appreciated. This printers seem healthy and robust, but I
can't buy one if our UNIX boxes can't print to it.

Lost in space,

Thanks to the number of people who sent suggestions regards
debugging an initial configuration. The key to getting IPTalk
to work was a correct host node number. The documentation for
atalk.local suggests that any node number not currently being
used will do; it turns out, however, that the node number must
be the last byte of the host's IP address (eg 23 for
128.148.176.23). Once I made this change the whole thing worked.

When debugging the configuration, I found snitch to be more
helpful than atistest. It is very exciting to see your host
suddenly  show up in Inter*Poll.

I'd appreciate complaints/commendations regarding ethernet 
comm servers which will route IP from one site to another
over a 9600 bps serial link.

I'm familiar with the Telebit Netblazer, but I think I would
be paying for more than I would use. I need one ethernet port
and one async port only (at this time).
 
Please respond to mclagan@fraser.sfu.ca

Subject: PC on a LocalTalk with an AppleTalk/Ethernet Gateway
Date: 13 Oct 92 18:17:09 GMT
Organization: Univ of Rochester, College of Engineering and Applied Science

How would you connect a PC near a LocalTalk but relatively far from an
ethernet?

We have a standalone IBM PC in an area that has a LocalTalk network.  That
LocalTalk is connected to one of our ethernets by a Cayman GatorBox.  But 
the Gator and the ethernet are a good 100 feet away.

The user of that PC would like to be able to use telnet and tn3270 to access 
remote computers, and as a secondary goal might like to print to an apple 
LaserWriter on the LocalTalk.  

We can accomplish the printing wish by connecting the PC to the LocalTalk, 
but what about telnet and tn3270?  Are there PD or commercial products that 
provide telnet (or tn3270 or WAIS or Gopher clients) through the 
AppleTalk/Ethernet gateway?

Connecting that PC to the LocalTalk is quite a bit cheaper than getting it 
an Ethernet card, a transceiver and 100 foot cable, and something like PC-NFS 
(which is how other PCs around here are connected).

Input and advice appreciated.  Please respond by email.  I'll summarize here
if I get more than two "Me too!" responses.

If I log onto CAP as root it works.

The "mount point" for the CAP volume plus the two higher directories are

This sounds *wonderful* David! Three questions:

1. What protocol is being used for IPRemote AppleTalk? Is it KIP, or
some variation on KIP, AURP, or something totally new and different?

2. Can I use IPRemote AppleTalk over a MacTCP SLIP connection? You
only mention "on an ethernet."

3. Can this be used on the same machine running Phase II CAP?

Thanks again for all of your work on great software.

We've got a NewGen TurboPS/400, and some Apple LaserWriters, and have no
problems printing to them from papif, from CAP 6.0 pl 100.  We're running on
a SPARC-2, SunOS 4.1.1, using Phase II EtherTalk via /dev/nit.

We don't have DDP Checksums enabled.  Could this be your problem?

Hello,

I'm having problems getting lpd to talkto papof correctly on a Sparc
running SunOS 4.1.1. I am using CAP 6.0pl126.

I can run papof by itself feeding it the postscript from stdin. But
when I try to run it from lpr. I it goes into the queue and lpd keeps
restarting itself. Printer log file looks like:

Oct 15 11:31:18 ritrcs lpd[9613]: restarting ott2
Oct 15 11:32:11 ritrcs last message repeated 173 times
Oct 15 11:32:11 ritrcs lpd[9613]: restarting ott2
Oct 15 11:32:12 ritrcs lpd[9613]: restarting ott2
Oct 15 11:32:36 ritrcs last message repeated 81 times

Printcap is:
# apple-talk network printer Postscript only using CAP.
Ottmar2|ottmar2|ott2:\
        :lp=/dev/ps1:\
        :sd=/var/spool/ottmar2:\

        :if=/usr/local_cap/ottmar2:

/usr/local_cap/ottmar2 is a hard link to papof and prints correctly if I
execute it as root from command line so I know cap.printers is OK.

I think this is really my not understanding something with lpd any help
would be appreciated.

Thank You

I'll wave the flag for any folks that don't already know about
Webster and its MultiPort Gateway.

The Webster MultiPort Gateway is manufactured and internationally
sold by Webster Computer Corporation.

The MultiPort Gateway (originally Multigate) project emanated 
from the Department of Computer Science, University of Melbourne in Australia.
Webster Computer Corporation,(Melbourne Australia) assumed the 
international manufacturing and marketing rights for the product.
During 1991, Webster also assumed full Research & Development
responsibility for the MultiPort Gateway.

In a nutshell,the Webster MultiPort Gateway is a high performance,
SNMP complaint, four channel LocalTalk to Ethernet router.
It supports  MacIP, IPTalk (atalkad) IPTalk 2, and DECnet Level 1 routing
protocols.

Is there a way to keep CAP (or Appleshare) from renaming files
in an all DOS network directory (accessed from PhoneNetTalk PC)?

For example CAP normally converts   abc_de   to  !abcde, because CAP
reserves underscore (_) to replace spaces ( ) in Mac file names.

If I know that a directory will only be used for DOS stuff, can I tweak
things to keep the DOS names from getting changed?

Take a look at samples/isrv.c in the CAP 6.0 distribution.  However, also
read the notes in the atprint.1 man page that describes this program.

	I realize this may be a FAQ, but after monitoring this group for a while
I have not learned what I need to know.

	Where I work we have a mixture of MAC's and PC's connected together via
an appletalk network.  The PC's connect via an appletalk card in the machine
(TOPS Flashcard).  This network is used primarily to access a set of
laser printers and to move some files back and forth from MAC to MAC.  I am one
of the PC users, and I'm not too familiar with the MAC or appletalk.  I would
like to be able to transfer files between MAC's and PC's via this network. If
the MAC's can do it why shouldn't I be able to.  I need software, but don't
know enough about what I'm doing to even get started.  Any pointers would be
greatly appreciated.

Some background,
  I am a UNIX guy and familiar with ethernet and TCP/IP (ie. networks per say).
  The MAC's are MAC IIci's running OS version 6.0xxx.
  The PC is a 386 with MSDOS version 3.3 and appletalk card.
  I have NCSA telnet for the PC and know where to get it for the MAC.
  Nothing fancy needed, free/shareware prefered since I can't afford much, and
  this outfit won't spring for anything.  Basic FTP-like capability would be
  fine.

I am sorry for the previous posting.

I am running CAP 6.0 on RS6000 (AIX 3.1.5).  We are moving from Phase I
to Phase II.  Some of our machines run localtalk and some are
ethertalk.

I am unable to get PhaseII for RS6000.  The configure shell will
only allow Phase I.
 
I was told by someone from downunder that CAP PhaseII will not work
on a RS6000 because of the packet configuration.

We tried out Helios but returned it.  We had problems with NFS and
security (changing permissions on files (etc/group etc.)).

My question is : What are people doing for PhaseII who have RS6000s
on TCP/IP network?  We have Cisco routers being upgraded to 8.0
I believe.

I'm sorry if this is not the place for this.  This is my first time 
and .....

Any responses - please mail billt@aldus.stanford.edu

Thanks!

Why not?  ;-)
