I am running CAP on two Kinetics FastPath boxes to connect our Mac network
to the University ethernet.  I would like to use some of the printing
utility software that is part of the CAP package.  I have compiled the
utility called "lwpr" which is used to print files from a Vax through the
FastPath box to a LaserWriter that is on AppleTalk.  In order for this to
work I need to setup a file called "atalk.local".  The format that I am
using does not seem to work (I compiled the utility "look" and it cannot see
anything at all...just responds "? Open Failed".).  The format I am using is
detailed below.

#mynet mynode myzone
50.254 177 FRC

#bridgenet bridgenode bridgeIP
50.44 10 128.2.44.10

The IP address of the mainframe I am on is 128.2.254.177 and the IP address
of the FastPath box is 128.2.44.10.  The zone of my Mac network is called
FRC.  Can anyone tell me if this format is correct?  Does anyone have an
idea what I could be doing wrong?


Any help would be appreciated.
