It seems that many people are interested in placing their Macs on existing
ethernets.  Could someone who has done this please post a summary of what is
neccesary, and what can be accomplished.

In particular, I am interested in printing from a Mac II with an EtherPort II card
to LaserWriters attached to VAXen.  Could someone comment on the relative merits of
CAP, K-SPOOL and any ALISA packages that do this.

Also, which packages allow you to use networked computers as file servers?

I have seen the CAP distribution files, but it is not clear to me whether it will
perform the above functions, and if so, which of the included utilities are needed.

Thanks,
