I got such good responses to my last question that I thought I'd try
another.

We have a Sequent Symentry sitting on our net which has two ethernet
cards, and routes between two TCP/IP subnets.
We also have two Sun stations running Sitka's TOPS 3.0 with phase one
protocols in effect.

The Problem: these two Sun machines are on opposite sides of the Sequent 
gateway, and the Sequent does not seem to want to route the Appletalk
packets along with the TCP/IP packets. If it did, both TOPS networks
would suddenly merge, instead of being separated like they are now..

The Question: As a possible solution I have gotten CAP from rutgers,
and in installing it I discovered the Sequent kernel appears to already
has some version of CAP installed.
Does anyone know how to turn this feature on, and has
anyone tried this? I can't seem to find it in the manuals.
If this built in system works, I won't bother building CAP, although
if someone has experience building CAP on a Sequent, any info on that
would be nice as well.

Also, if anyone know of some other clever way to get aroung this, please
let me know.
