The last statement ( with the ^^^^^'s) is interesting and something I've
heard rumoured before. My local SGI office once alluded to an SGI project
(collaborative with a third party) to bring native Appletalk (Ethertalk &
Localtalk) support to Irises, but that it eventually foundered and nothing
ever came of it.

Has anyone else heard anything along these lines???? I'd **really** like
to have a native ethertalk phase 2 Appleshare server on one of the irises
here -- something that CAP currently doesn't support,
