I read further last night and realized this...it will use AppleTalk, then reconnect with TCP/IP if it can. I verified that using NetStat...

So you have both: Comfort and Speed :-) Wow...sometimes, Apple does the Right Thing, eh? :) >All remaining is the concept of network and host addresses: I need to digest this some more...thanks for the info. >I think, there are some resources on the net. The official netatalk >homepage at http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk/ is a good starting point. I had read through most of what was out there. Today, I found all sorts of stuff on Open Transport and AppleShare at Apple's web site. There is still some stuff missing, but I think it could be in the 25 meg SDK I d/l'ed. I need to open that up and see what docs are in there. Again, thanks for all the info. Kevin
