Hello everyone!

    Recently I saw a lot of discussion about CAP KIP UAB in this group.  I am
very interested in this but I am not familiar with appletalk technically. I
am interested in "networking" several NeXT machines with a local appletalk
network.  Right now a MacII is running appleshare and appleshare print server
and all macs (including macIIx, MacSe, Macplus and macSe/30) are connected with
phoneNet.  I also have 2 Zenith 386 running TOPS and TOPS netprint.  One of the
Zenith and one of the macIIx have EtherNet card which is used to run NCSA 
telnet. All 4 NeXT machines are on ethernet too.  I am interested in printing
from NeXT machines to a LaserWriterIINT on the appletalk network. I am also 
interested in printing from macs on appletalk to printers local to the next 
machines.  ( I do not have one yet, but hopefully will get a next printer.)
Now from what I understand, I can install uab and cap on one of the NeXT to 
be able to do this. I looked at the installation.doc of the cap and noticed 
I have to have KIP installed first. Then I ftpd a copy of KIP (kip0688)and 
found I need a Kinetics box in the installation instruction.  Now I am 
confused.  Do I need a k-box or not?  Looks to me UAB and CAP should be enough 
to achieve what I want.  Can somebody enlighten me, please?  Thanks a lot!
