- The last statement ( with the ^^^^^'s) is interesting and something I've
- heard rumoured before. My local SGI office once alluded to an SGI project
- (collaborative with a third party) to bring native Appletalk (Ethertalk &
- Localtalk) support to Irises, but that it eventually foundered and nothing
- ever came of it.
-
- Has anyone else heard anything along these lines???? I'd **really** like
- to have a native ethertalk phase 2 Appleshare server on one of the irises
- here -- something that CAP currently doesn't support,
