This is PAPFIX1.NLM.  It is a patch to APPLETLK.NLM v3.0. This patch
resolves a problem where server PAP sessions of greater than 255
transactions would be interrupted and fail.  The AppleTalk stack would then
generate an error message stating that the Tickle Timer popped on the
affected connection.
	
This problem would cause ATPS.NLM to consistently fail to print files over
one megabyte in size or to return font lists greater than 255 entries to
Macintosh clients.  In these circumstances, ATPS would return the message
"PAP write: no such device or address".

To use this patch, first load the new v2.20 PATCHMAN.NLM, and then load the
PAPFIX1.NLM.  This patch is for use with v3.0 NetWare for Macintosh; the
problem is resolved with v3.01 NetWare for Macintosh.
