I'm having some problems at the moment with CAP (Columbian AppleTalk Package) and printing. I have CAP (latest pl) compiled an running in "Native ethertalk" mode on my net, which uses /dev/bpf's, and have file sharing working just fine. I am trying to get the lwsrv8 daemon to work. Sometime's I get a can't open /dev/bpfXX message (I have 16..) and other times if I use a trace I can see something... but then it all just folds. I am trying to feed lwsrv's postscript thru ghostscript and I'm not sure if this is going to work. I read in another post of someones that you should only have a maximum of 16 bpf's.... Is this true and why? Any assistance or pointers would be great. Peter Childs -- pjchilds@imforei.apana.org.au
