  We use CAP to spool to postscript printers (LaserWriters and Imagens with
UltraScript) and for filing (AppleShare via AUFS) in conjunction with
microExplorers with good results.  Note that a Kinetics FastPath or equivalent
is needed for this setup as far as I know.  There don't seem to be any
problems with using the microExplorer and these facilities at the same time,
though there were one or two very early in testing TI's software.

   One thing that doesn't work is having the Mac and the microExplorer talk
TCP out the same interface (EtherTalk or LocalTalk).  Apple has recently come
out with MacTCP, a TCP and UDP interface that allows more than one application
to use TCP/IP at the same time, and I'm pretty sure TI is working on
converting to use MacTCP, but for now you either have to reboot the Mac
between using the microExplorer and an application that uses MacTCP, or run
MacTCP over LocalTalk and the microExplorer over EtherTalk, as we do.
