Reply to: RE>>netatalk /CAP users?
Hello to all -
I succeeded in getting netatalk to run on FreeBSD, but it took quite a bit of
patching. It did not really test the performance, but it did not seem to run
very fast. I run CAP on an old Sparc 1 with old ESDI drives, and my
FreeBSD/Netatalk/100 Mhz 486/16MB RAM/Fast SCSI does not seem to run much
faster. I was actually impressed with Linux running CAP, but a bit
disappointed with the performance of netatalk after I had been hearing about
how wonderful the design of netatalk as compared to CAP.
Overall, I really like FreeBSD, but I wish the was more support for things
like the ep device driver (multicast support?) and Netatalk.
I will be bringing up another FreeBSD (133Mhz Pentium) over the next month,
and you bet that I will again try to install Netatalk and do some more direct
comparison between Netatalk and CAP.

I use CAP 6.0pl196 (not sure on pl).. and it works ok... the machine is
on a loaded network and it's slow (386/40dx w/ 8megs RAM) so the machine
doesn't always appear... but it's better than it used to be...
I have cc'ed a list that would have a better answer for you... TTYL...
