CAP runs as a single AppleTalk node, it doesn't know or care much about
routing AppleTalk packets. UAR is a portable AppleTalk Router for UNIX
boxes (and other things).

With CAP in "Native EtherTalk Mode", each individual aarpd/atis/aufs
process reads and writes EtherTalk packets using BPF, or NIT, or DLPI or
DEC PF. On operating systems such as IRIX, HP-UX or Sony NEWS where it is
only possible to open a small number of network "ports", CAP must be used
in "UAR Mode". UAR acts as a proxy for the CAP node, delivering packets to
the CAP processes via IP.

If you don't really need the routing function of UAR, then use CAP in
Native EtherTalk mode, it's faster.
