I would like to use ARA to dial in from home, but I don't have a Mac or LANRover available at work to accept the dial in. Is there anything available for a Unix (in particular, Sun) workstation that would allow me to make an ARA connection to it? There is a KIP box connecting our LocalTalk and Internet networks. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Lumsdaine Dept. Comp.

It sounds like you need the ARNS package for Unix. To quote from the README file that comes with the package: -ARNS is 'A Remote Network Server' package for AppleTalk that allows a -remote client to participate in local network services such as printing -and file sharing. The ARNS server runs on a UNIX host that is connected -to an EtherTalk network. Connectivity between a client and server may be -provided by a variety of transport systems. This version of ARNS supports -UDP/IP datagrams and TCP/IP streams. - - -ARNS client nodes (which may be anywhere on the IP connected Internet) can -be any of the following: - - * A Macintosh with EtherNet card, MacTCP 1.1 and IPRemote AT adev. - - * A Macintosh with Async AppleTalk adev 2.0 connected to a serial - port on a UNIX machine running the 'async' program. - - * A UNIX host running CAP with a modified delivery mechanism (capd). If you set up ARNS on your unix host, you don't need ARA - you can use Async Appletalk, which is supplied with ARNS. I don't use it regularly but I have experimented with it and it seems to work well. The arns distribution is on munnari.oz.au, in the /multigate directory. Hope this helps.
