Knowing me Nik Clayton, knowing you danny@cs.su.oz.au (Daniel Yee), ah-ha.

CAP up to v6 pl105 definitely works, because I use it. I haven't made it
into a port yet because I don't have the time, and because there are a
few problems I'm having with it. These problems could very well be due
to my less than optimal understanding of the finer points of Mac
networking.

Last time I looked at Netatalk (which various people have recommended to
me) it listed itself as only working with SunOS 4.1.3 and Ultrix. I
haven't put any effort into getting it to work with FreeBSD yet.

I'll cheerfully share my configuration notes on CAP with you. Mail me as
nik@blueberry.co.uk for more info if you need it.
