Yep, so much for "release engineering"...

ABOUT MACIPGW
=============

This is the 2nd beta release of macipgw, a MacIP gateway for FreeBSD.

MacIP is a protocol that allows the encapsulation of IP packets in AppleTalk
packets, thus allowing Macs connected through an AppleTalk-only network
(such as LocalTalk or Appe Remote Access) to use TCP/IP-based services.

To use macipgw, you need FreeBSD 2.1.5 or newer with AppleTalk kernel
patches (see ftp://ftp.promo.de/people/stefan/netatalk/) or FreeBSD 2.2.1 or
newer. Also, you'll need to install netatalk 1.4b2 or later.

Also, you'll need one tunnel device for macipgw, see tun(4) for details.

Please direct questions, comments, diffs to <Stefan.Bethke@Hanse.DE>.

The latest beta version of macipgw can be found at
ftp://ftp.promo.de/pub/people/stefan/netatalk/

July 22, 1997, Stefan Bethke


WHATS NEW
=========

New in 1.0b2:
- Fixed a compiler warning in macip.c
- -z zone now does what it is supposed to do
- now works correctly if there are no zones

The whole idea of the gateway being a router and handling ICMP is crap; it
will be removed in a later release.


INSTALLING
==========

A `make depend all install' as root should work.

If you have installed the netatalk include files (atalk) neither in
/usr/include nor in /usr/local/include, adapt the Makefile appropiatly.

Please see the man page macipgw(8) for details on how to start macipgw.


Cheers, Stefan
