Question:

we are considering attempting to port CAP to a 386/ix box
that is *not* and *will not* run UDP (or any TCP/IP services).
My own brief inspection of the code supports the notion that
the UDP encapsulation used by CAP is only there to provide a
transport service to get AT packets out to a FastPath or Gatorbox,
via the Un*x box's own ethernet interface.

What we're thinking of doing is having CAP talk to a AT card directly,
just shipping out AT packets without any UDP or other encapsulation; the
AT card would then ship these over some unspecified wire to a Mac or
AppleTalk net.

Has anyone done this before ? Does anyone have any comments on
the reasonableness of the idea ?

We're not quite up on news yet (maybe next week) - please reply
