Since this should be of general interest, I'm posting.

Here is a working CAP-with-GatorBox configuration.  I use it with NCSA
Telnet, aufs and lwsrv.

I'm not Internet-connected, so I've appropriated the class A network "50"
for my own use; modify as appropriate.


/etc/tcp on CAP host:

	#
	# network host configuration (two max)
	#
	ifconfig wd0 50.0.3.5 -trailers \
		arp netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 50.255.255.255


/usr/local/lib/cap/atalk.local on CAP host::

	# mynet mynode myzone
	3 5 Danger
	# bridgenet bridgenode bridgeIP
	3 120 50.0.3.120

GatorKeeper configuration:

	TCP/IP:
		TCP/IP Option   On              (but you knew that :-))
		IP Address      50.0.3.120
		Broadcast       50.255.255.255
		Subnet mask     255.255.255.0

		MacIP:
			From            50.0.3.128
			To              50.0.3.159

	AppleTalk Routing:
		LocalTalk Net   1
		LocalTalk Zone  "LocalTalk"
		EtherTalk Net   2
		EtherTalk Zone  "EtherTalk"

		KIP:
			KIP Net         3
			KIP Zone        "Danger"
			KIP IP Net      50.0.3.0


I think the trickiest part of this configuration is the "KIP IP Net".  If I
understand this number correctly, it is the three most significant bytes of
all KIP-related IP addresses.

I had an -- er -- "interesting" time configuring my network, especially
since I could never be sure whether problems were due to configuration or
to the System V environment.  But it's working now.
