- Hi CAP-lovers!
-
- We have a CAP AFP-server at work. When I'm working at home I often need
- access to our university network, so I successfully use MacSLIP to login.
- The only thing I really miss is a convenient access to the CAP volume.
-
- As I see it there are two possible ways to do this:
-
- 1) A program on our Sun (the CAP server) that will, in some way, assemble
- all three parts of a CAP file in some format that can be transfered over
- the SLIP connection to my home Mac (eg. ftp). Does such a program exist?
- I know of "cvt2apple" but how do I convert the file to something useful
- at home?
-
- 2) Some program that would let my home Mac connect to the CAP volume with
- AppleTalk (i.e. the normal way it's done when I'm at the university). This
- would be the prefered way I guess.
-
- How do you do this? I can't be the only one wanting to do this?!?!?
- ARA is out of the question for us since our Annex terminal server doesn't handle
- it.
-
- Any help would be appreciated
-
- Regards
- Johan
