You can install CAP, although currently it requires an Ethernet/Localtalk  
router like a Fastpath or Gatorbox.  I don't know whether 3.0's support for  
Appletalk in the kernel will change this, but I would think it should.  Other  
than that glitch, CAP works great and is fairly mature at this point.
