Extremely limited success.  cap60.pl196 will compile, and will "work" with
the following severe limitations:
   a) Only one connection allowed at a time.  My system has 10 bpf filters,
   but all of them respond with EBUSY after the first connection is made
   (for atlook, aufs, getzones, lwpr; anything I've tried).

   b) File creation in aufs from a remote user runs into various permission
   problems.  I *think* this is a problem with it trying to chmod files
   to root instead of the user's uid, but I haven't managed to diagnose it
   yet to my satisfaction.

I also tried cap60.pl192 with the contrib patch from ftp.bsdi.com, but that
wouldn't even compile.

I'm running BSD/OS 2.0.1, /dev/ef0 is a 3COM509, bpfilters *are* compiled
into the kernel, CAP is configured to use Native Ethertalk.

Anyone have better success?  A different set of patches to try?
