I'm trying to set up a Kinetics KFPS-2 using kip/cap.  I have:

	Vax-11/750, MtXinu 4.3/NFS, Micom/InterLan NI-1010A ethernet card
	KFPS-2 on a DEC DELNI
	CAP version 4.00 with pat5.shar patches installed
	KIP version 0287 (actually not sure; the HIST file says 0287
		but I got a new gw.srec from sumex-aim a few days ago).
	Macintosh Plus (with new, ugly, case coloring :-))

Here's my various config files:

atalk.local:
----------------
# mynet mynode myzone 
55.1 100 PHRI-AT
# bridgenet bridgenode bridgeIP
55.1 220 192.9.200.150
----------------

atalkatab:
----------------
# Appletalk administration database table (atalkatab),
[lot's more comment lines]
55.1	N1	192.9.200.0	PHRI-AT		# PHRI AppleTalk

56.1	KC	192.9.200.150	PHRI-AT		# K-Box #1
	I192.9.200.255	I192.9.200.100		# ipbroad ipname
	I192.9.200.100	L0			# ipdebug ipfile
	L0 L0 L0 L0	S0 S0			# ipother unused unused
	LX0		S2	S6		# flags ipstatic ipdynamic

PHRI.CONFIG (for "FastPath(tm) Manager")"
----------------
* Config file for KFPS, KIP version, 10/86.
*
* A future version of the 'prompt' program will recognize
* a line containing a 'dot format' address and convert those
* four decimal byte values to four hex bytes(?)
*
* These bytes are ignored but must be left as placeholders: 
0000 0000 FF FF FF 00 000000 000000
* Gateway name (in this example, "gw")
677700000000000000000000000000000000000000
* File name (in this example, "gw.srec"): 
67772E737265630000000000000000000000000000
* reserved (this field should be 00FF): 
00FF
*
* Start of 'mandatory' parameters, the minimum information that
* must be supplied for the gateway to begin operation.
*
* IP address of myself, 'ipaddr'
* 192.9.200.150
C009C896
* IP addr of admin host
* 192.9.200.100
C009C864
* IP addr of default route (nearest 'real' gateway)
* 192.9.200.100
C009C864
* ethernet hardware addr of KFPS;
* 080089 is the Kinetics manufacturer code,
* remaining bytes are the serial number of your box.
080089 D00695
* next value is a flag, if it is '1234' the remainder 
* of this file is considered valid;  any other value means
* that the remaining parameters will be obtained from atalkad.
0000

Some things work fine.  Using the NCSA telnet program that came with the
kbox, I can telnet to various Unix machines on our ethernet and can ftp
back to the Mac with no trouble.  If I try to do an "lpr -Patl", atis hangs
with the following in the spooler errs file:

----------------
PAPIF: Starting job for root@phri at Sun Jul 26 13:55:23 1987 on printer LaserWriter Plus:LaserWriter@*
Problems finding LaserWriter Plus:LaserWriter@*
Aborted job at Sun Jul 26 13:59:14 1987
----------------

If I run The Namer on the Macintosh, it shows "LaserWriter Plus" as a valid
printer name.

Doing /etc/ping shows that the kbox is alive:

% /etc/ping 192.9.200.150
PING 192.9.200.150: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.9.200.150: icmp_seq=0. time=15. ms

----192.9.200.150 PING Statistics----
4 packets transmitted, 4 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip (ms)  min/avg/max = 13/14/15
% 

but running /etc/cap/look (or looks or pinger) give me back nothing:

% cd /etc/cap
% look
abInit: [ddp: net  55.01, node 100] starting
Looking for =:=@* ...
% looks
abInit: [ddp: net  55.01, node 100] starting
Looking for =:LaserWriter@* ...
% pinger
abInit: [ddp: net  55.01, node 100] starting
Looking for =:=@* ...
% 

Enough data (I hope); time for specific questions.  Am I right in assuming
that the "FastPath(tm) Manager" application that came with the kbox is the
same as the "prompt" program referred to in the kip etc/install document?
Should I worry that when I run it and point it at my config file, it shows
garbage for the AppleTalk zone names, etc?

Do I need to put the IP address for the kbox (192.9.200.150) in my
/etc/hosts file?  What about the other static and dynamic IP address
generated by the gateway?

Where do I start to look to debug something like this?  We've got etherfind
on our suns (which shows occasional udp packets immediately answered by arp
packets to/from the kbox) but I'm not much of a networking guru so I don't
really know what I'm doing with that.

Looking through the papif code, I see it looking for a "-p printername" to
get the name of the printer it is supposed to use, defaulting to
"LaserWriter Plus" if there is none.  However, papif doesn't get called
with a "-p" from lpr:

% ps lww#28839
      F UID   PID  PPID CP PRI NI ADDR  SZ  RSS WCHAN        STAT TT  TIME COMMAND
1008001   0 28839 28838  3   1  0  9e0  42   24 selwait      S    ?   0:00 papif -w0 -l72 -i0 -n roy -h phri /usr/spool/at-laser10/acct

Is there something wrong with my lpr?
