]
] I have spent a couple of days working on - now everything compiles , and
] everything runs with core dumping, but not to any great purpose.
]
] I have made it work with Ultrix 4.2a so I think all the configuration details
] are correct, it just doesn't do what I want.
]
] Specifically
] atis will run, but atistest times out
] atlook doesn't see the net.
]
] Hardware:
] 486/33 , 120MB drive, 4mb memory
] Acer ethernet card running NE1000 compatibility
]
] All suggestions welcome.

] Indeed, yes. I have CAP running at about PL100, over IPTalk (ie, the
] server doesn't talk native AppleTalk, so you need an
] IP-encapsulated-appletalk to IP router) - the patches are fairly minor,
] and were done by Brendan Murray (BRENDAN@otago.ac.nz) and myself.
]
] Mail me for info.
