I thought I new everything about appletalk <-> unix communications, but now..

For over a year now I've been running CAP 6.0 pl 125 (?) on a Sun 4m.
I've gotten AUFS (server side), PAP, and lwsrv running.  However I just
saw a reference to AFS (to access archive.umich.edu).  In my digging I
ran into netatalk-1.2.1.  It seems that these packages are somewhat similar
and provide some of the same features, but I would like someone familiar
with both of them to tell me more.  My big question is can I use the
pap code from netatalk with the CAP libraries?  pap from netatalk seems
to be easier to configure (for page reversal and text file printing).

I've tried many times to get psf v3pl5 and papif from CAP6.0 to work together
but haven't succeeded.  Any hints?

And finially can anyone recommend one of Eudora, POPmail, TechMail pop clients
over the other?

Thanks for any advice.

POPmail is similar in 'look and feel' to QuickMail, and supports
both POP2 and POP3.  Eudora supports POP3 and also works with
Kerberos authentication.  Both are good products and come with
documentation.  I haven't tried TechMail.

AFS is an extension of file service to Unix like NFS but the nice thing
is that you don't have to know which file server has your file on it.

I have modified CAP pl126 to work with AFS. I will be sending at some point
a patch for AFS to the CAP folks.
