What you really want is CAP (Columbia Appletalk Software) which not only
allows for printer sharing over a Kinetics FastPath gateway, but also
allows the UNIX machine to act as a Appletalk File server

You can get more information by sending mail to rtc@cunixc.cc.columbia.edu
or just FTP the  README file and see for yourself.

	FTP : cunixc.cc.columbia.edu [128.59.40.130]

		MODIFICATIONS
		cap50.tar.Z
		shar/cap50.1shar
		shar/cap50.2shar
		cpr.*  	- problem reports

		or

	FTP: sumex.stanford.edu
	Directory: ps:<info-mac>
	Files:	at-cap5.modifications

Good Luck.
