- The November NeXTworld Extra notes that 3.0's AppleTalk does not work on
- "Large Networks". I can vouch for this. It is very flaky on our very large
- AppleTalk network. I am also quite sure the flakiness has something to do with
- the minimal AppleTalk network management at our site.

- At Interop, I complained to a NeXT person about this. He told me that NeXT is
- preparing an interim release that will address this issue (better send back
- those license registration cards ;-). He also offered to send me the
- appropriate modules to fix the problem. Since NeXT has not made public the
- "bug fix," I will not get into details on exactly how NeXT has fixed this bug.
