- This sounds like a problem I ran into myself a while back. Networking via
- SLIP would work fine under A/UX but the connects would time out under the
- finder. The fix turned out to be to bring up "network" in the control
- panel, and select EtherTalk instead of AppleTalk. Unfortunately, this
- disables the Appletalk network so my laser printer is unusable when I do
- this, but it does enable use of MacTCP.
