- Yes, I realize that, but my point was that NeXT has obviously put Appletalk
- support in the kernel in order to support the Appleshare client stuff that
- ships with 3.0. With that in place, I would think the CAP maintainers could
- come up with the patches to support Ethertalk. Currently this support only
- exists for Suns and DecStations, although CAP runs on a whole slew of
- hardware.

- What does uShare offer that CAP doesn't (other than the native ethernet stuff
- we're talking about?)
