The CAP page at http://www.cs.mu.oz/appletalk/cap.page (which someone else pointed out) suggests that pl195 has FreeBSD 2.0 support. >Last time I looked at Netatalk (which various people have recommended to >me) it listed itself as only working with SunOS 4.1.3 and Ultrix. I >haven't put any effort into getting it to work with FreeBSD yet. They got it working under Linux, and it should be a lot easier to do for BSD based systems. It's apparently much faster than CAP, so it'd be nice to have. Maybe I'll set that aside as a project if I end up running FreeBSD. (I'm still torn between that and Linux.) Danny Yee.
