If by CAP you are referring to Columbia Appletalk Protoocol, why not use
Netatalk instead? Both are freeware, but netatalk has some performance
improvements that CAP lacks. Just MHO.

I'm running CAP6.0 patch level 197 (the latest, as far as I know) on an
AlphaServer 2100 with DU 4.0b. I didn't have any problems - it compiled
and ran beautifully. There are a few things to pay attention to:
- you must have packet filter support compiled into the kernel
- select native ethertalk support when configuring CAP
After that, it should just work. One thing I have noticed is that it is
much more stable if you give it the packet filter device instead of the
network device as an argument to aarpd when starting...
for example,
aarpd pf0 MYZONE
instead of
aarpd tu0 MYZONE

You can run CAP on DU 4.0x. Patch Level 197 is the most current
release of which I'm aware. You need it if you're running Digital's
Enhanced Security option -- you may be able to use lower patch
levels if you're not running this option, but I've never tried it so I can't
tell you for sure.

I'm having trouble with CAP also. I have added all the patches, up to 198.
I emailed the author, David Hornsby <djh_at_cs.mu.oz.au> my problem (zone
unkown).
> Zone "AITS" unknown, network default is "EtherTalk Phase II".
and he answered:

I did as he suggested. However, when I did the getzones, there were no
zones found. I have not pursued this futher. I am interested in whatever
you find.
