- I have only tried the clients, not the ARNS Server. I'm looking for

- able to print to the LaserWriter at mullala.cs.mu.oz.au, but I can't
- get the AppleShare to work properly over a 12000 mile Internet link.

- The current description we have limit the remote appletalk access

- with Clients on appletalk+Kinetics+ethernet nets? which is the
- limitation?

- For Macs not equipped with direct EtherTalk connections, I have tried
- the Async AppleTalk dial-up to a Unix host running the Unix side of
- the Async client. The performance to the ARNS Server at Mullala
- is the same for Async AppleTalk as for IPRemote. The globe-girdling
- connection is a bit too unreliable and delay-laden to be a good test.
