Yes, that makes a lot more sense. But I don't see any options in
NTK preferences to use Appletalk over anything but the serial
ports. I would expect something along the lines of this:
Connection:
Type: Serial
AppleTalk <- selected
Port: LocalTalk
Ethernet
But I don't. Even with AppleTalk selected, I only get to specify
Serial ports ( Printer Port USB and Modem Port USB ). If I had an
option to use Ethernet, I would - that's how I do NCU, anyway.
Hrm.
