I'd also like EtherTalk phase 2 compatibility (I could move the server
off my A/UX machine and onto someone else's SparcStation :-)); even more
important for me is the option to save AUFS files as AppleSingle or
AppleDouble documents rather than the massive hackage CAP uses now.
We've got lots of A/UX boxes around, and it's a massive pain having big
directories full of AppleSingle/Double files and big directories full of
CAP files, none of which can speak to each other without translation.
I'd prefer to use the same disk space for both, and I'd prefer it to be
in AppleSingle/Double format since native file reading is much faster
under A/UX than CAP AUFS access.
