As Laurent said, there are others of us who have experienced the same
failure. NCU + Classic + Appletalk + Wavelan = hangs in the middle of
package installs.
Last night, I worked around this by using NewtFTP to transfer the
packages from my OSX box (make sure "FTP Access" is enabled in the
Sharing System Preference pane and login using the same credentials you
supply when logging into the GUI.)
It worked fine, albeit slowly (thanks to NewtFTP's rather slow transfer
speed). No glitches, no hangs. Incidentally, you can also transfer .JPG
files this way to the Inbox for viewing with Newt'sCape.
