- It sounds like you need the ARNS package for Unix. To quote from the
- README file that comes with the package:
-
- -ARNS is 'A Remote Network Server' package for AppleTalk that allows a
- -remote client to participate in local network services such as printing
- -and file sharing. The ARNS server runs on a UNIX host that is connected
- -to an EtherTalk network. Connectivity between a client and server may be
- -provided by a variety of transport systems. This version of ARNS supports
- -UDP/IP datagrams and TCP/IP streams.
- -
- -
- -ARNS client nodes (which may be anywhere on the IP connected Internet) can
- -be any of the following:
- -
- - * A Macintosh with EtherNet card, MacTCP 1.1 and IPRemote AT adev.
- -
- - * A Macintosh with Async AppleTalk adev 2.0 connected to a serial
- - port on a UNIX machine running the 'async' program.
- -
- - * A UNIX host running CAP with a modified delivery mechanism (capd).
-
-
- If you set up ARNS on your unix host, you don't need ARA - you can
- use Async Appletalk, which is supplied with ARNS. I don't use it regularly
- but I have experimented with it and it seems to work well.
-
- The arns distribution is on munnari.oz.au, in the /multigate directory.
-
- Hope this helps.
