I am trying to set up a system by which I may print to Unix lpd-accessible printers from MacOS over LocalTalk. I have CAP 6.0 which I am attempting to install under A/UX 3.0. All of the documentation indicates that this would work great over EtherTalk or IPTalk. I've heard rumours of this working over LocalTalk, but I can find nothing supporting this in the distribution. Anyone out there gotten CAP working over LocalTalk from A/UX? I'd appreciate any pointers... Thanks in advance... -Mark J. Reed P.S. I don't have any philosophical objection to switching to EtherTalk, and our Macs have Ethernet cards, but they use them to talk TCP/IP. I know that EtherTalk and IP will coexist happily on a single Ethernet, but I have my doubts about MacTCP and EtherTalk sharing an interface. I can't even get two MacTCP programs to share...

EtherTalk and MacTCP share just fine 'round here (including on some very heavily used machines). And, yes, MacTCP programs know how to play nice between themselves as well... -- Christopher K.
