I am trying to set up a system by which I may print to Unix lpd-accessible
printers from MacOS over LocalTalk.  I have CAP 6.0 which I am attempting to
install under A/UX 3.0.  All of the documentation indicates that this would work
great over EtherTalk or IPTalk.  I've heard rumours of this working over
LocalTalk, but I can find nothing supporting this in the distribution.

Anyone out there gotten CAP working over LocalTalk from A/UX?  
I'd appreciate any pointers...

Thanks in advance...

P.S. I don't have any philosophical objection to switching to EtherTalk, and our
Macs have Ethernet cards, but they use them to talk TCP/IP.  I know that
EtherTalk and IP will coexist happily on a single Ethernet, but I have my
doubts about MacTCP and EtherTalk sharing an interface.  I can't even get two
MacTCP programs to share...
