	As I understand the setup documents that come with CAP-60, you have
to statically assign the CAP server an AppleTalk node number to put in the
atalk.local file.  Where does one come up with this number, and how does
one ensure that it doesn't duplicate an existing node number?  Why can't
CAP engage in the dynamic node ID assignment (LLAP Enquiry/Acknowledge)
like every other AppleTalk object?
