Yes, I realize that, but my point was that NeXT has obviously put Appletalk  
support in the kernel in order to support the Appleshare client stuff that  
ships with 3.0.  With that in place, I would think the CAP maintainers could  
come up with the patches to support Ethertalk.  Currently this support only  
exists for Suns and DecStations, although CAP runs on a whole slew of  
hardware.

What does uShare offer that CAP doesn't (other than the native ethernet stuff  
we're talking about?)
