We have CAP 6.0 running on our NeXTs under 2.1 and 3.0 without any problems. In  
contrast to the Appleshare client software of NeXT which is part of NS3.0 the  
CAP package exhibits a very good stability and reasonable performance. After  
the porting of Adobe LaserWriter fonts from Mac to NeXT via Metamorphosis we  
can even use the NeXT laser printer without any problems. The only prerequisite  
is an Appletalk/Internet gateway (e.g. Kinetics FastPath or Cayman Gatorbox)  
because the NeXT version of CAP doesn't support EtherTalk, i.e. the direct  
integration of Macs with Ethernet cards and NeXTs.
