Hi CAP-lovers!

We have a CAP AFP-server at work. When I'm working at home I often need
access to our university network, so I successfully use MacSLIP to login.
The only thing I really miss is a convenient access to the CAP volume.

As I see it there are two possible ways to do this:

1) A program on our Sun (the CAP server) that will, in some way, assemble
   all three parts of a CAP file in some format that can be transfered over
   the SLIP connection to my home Mac (eg. ftp). Does such a program exist?
   I know of "cvt2apple" but how do I convert the file to something useful
   at home?

2) Some program that would let my home Mac connect to the CAP volume with
   AppleTalk (i.e. the normal way it's done when I'm at the university). This
   would be the prefered way I guess.

How do you do this? I can't be the only one wanting to do this?!?!?
ARA is out of the question for us since our Annex terminal server doesn't handle
it.

Any help would be appreciated

Regards
Johan
