Hi Harry, Under OS X, having appletalk enabled in your network system preferences on a usb equipped cpu does not create the problem you are referring to. It may create a problem on older cpus with printer/modem ports but I can't vouch for that either. Fax/modem software has been a long time culprit, however.
