CAP GLOSSARY
CAP Columbia AppleTalk Package
A freeware suite of programs that partially implement the AppleTalk
protocol stack on a variety of UNIX machines. Includes an AFP 2.0
AppleShare Server, LaserWriter Spooler and lpr/lpd "input" filter.
ETHERTALK
AppleTalk protocols transmitted in specific type Ethernet packets.
May be Phase 1 (Ethernet packets type 0x809B) or Phase 2 (IEEE 802.3
Ethernet packets with 0xAAAA03 802.2 header and 0x080007809B SNAP
headers). CAP in "Native EtherTalk" mode uses AppleTalk in Ethernet.
LOCALTALK
AppleTalk protocols transmitted over twisted pair cable at
230.4Kbits/second.
IPTALK IP encapsulated AppleTalk
AppleTalk protocols transmitted within IP packets. Usually used with
CAP on UNIX hosts that are unable to speak EtherTalk. Requires an
external AppleTalk gateway to translate IPTalk to/from EtherTalk.
UAB UNIX AppleTalk Bridge
Phase 1 EtherTalk Router. Used to connect two EtherTalk networks
together via Ethernet interfaces on a UNIX host. Also supports
CAP processes via local UDP/IP loopback using modified IPTalk.
Bundled with CAP.
UAR UNIX AppleTalk Router
Phase 1/Phase 2 EtherTalk Router for UNIX boxes. Also supports CAP
and simple AppleTalk tunneling over IP networks. Not bundled with
CAP. Available in two versions: freeware with basic features and
shareware with extra features (supports ARNS clients, NBP registry).
AUFS AppleTalk UNIX File Server
UNIX based AppleShare server. Supports Apple Filing Protocol v 2.0.
Nominated UNIX directories can be mounted as a AppleShare Volumes
for storage of Mac files.
LWSRV LaserWriter Server/Spooler
UNIX based LaserWriter Spooler. Macintosh print jobs are spooled to
the UNIX printer queue for subsequent printing via PAPIF or serially
connected printer.
PAPIF PAP Input Filter
BSD lpd filter for sending print-jobs to AppleTalk connected
printers. Can be used in a script for non-BSD printing systems.
AARPD AARP Daemon
UNIX process for handling AppleTalk Address Resolution Protocol (AARP)
lookups. Stores ethernet hardware address/AppleTalk address mappings
which are available to other CAP processes via RPC. Also handles
updating of /etc/etalk.local. Used only with "Native EtherTalk".
ATIS AppleTalk Information Server
UNIX process for handling AppleTalk Name Binding Protocol (NBP)
lookups and registrations, AppleTalk Echo Protocol (AEP) traffic
and Routing Table Maintenance Protocol (RTMP) data. Sends RTMP
router updates to AARPD via RPC. Other CAP processes register
Chooser visible names with ATIS.
GETZONES
List AppleTalk zones for the local Internet.
ATLOOK AppleTalk Lookup
Lists AppleTalk NBP entities visible on the network. Also ATPINGER
for sending Echo Protocol packets and ATLOOKLWS for LaserWriters.
SNITCH UNIX InterPoll client
Equivalent to Macintosh "Responder" program. Provides limited
information about the CAP host to Mac InterPoll lookups.
