Well when she found the outlet that I'd run to the master bedroom......
the first question was 'Why do we need THAT in here ?'.....<fill in the

Personally couldn't think of a better place...Sunday morning lay-in ( hey
don't spoil the fantasy )
reading the latest digest........;-)
to swing back to the topic

Hhm tried that....eMate sits on 'looking for printers' but no success. (
Both are connected to the Hub, BTW )
The HP L4+ has an Etalk option which I've set to 'On'. The only other Etalk
option is 'Phase' which is set at 2 ( default )
So is this OK or should it be something else ?
Could the Redhat box and TCP/IP somehow 'block' Ethertalk ? Ipchains is not
running........yet, box not quite ready to go public........ so I know it's
not that........ ?
BTW ........thanks for the netatalk link David !
cheers
