I'm not sure I understand here. I was thinking that the whole idea was
to use NTK with AppleTalk, be it on LocalTalk or Ethernet, that doesn't
matter to NTK. Now, it seems that with 10.1, there is a problem as no
serial port are available, and because of that, NTK is choking. I get a
similar warning from NCU when I launch it, but since I can specify
AppleTalk as the connection, and as long as AppleTalk is available under
10.1, NCU is happy. It seems that NTK doesn't like this. So, I was
thinking that we could "fool" NTK to believe that there is a serial port
somewhere, no matter it's real or not. The goal, however, would be to
use AppleTalk.

Am I missing something here?
