Doug,
Don't bother looking for the Appletalk CP. You will find it inside
the Control Panels folder in your Mac OS 9.2.2 System Folder but you
will never get it working inside Classic.
When using Classic, since i think about Mac OS X 10.1.5, the
Appletalk CP is no longer useable because access to Appletalk is
controlled by OS X NOT by Mac OS 9.2.2. As Apple developed Classic
further they slowly removed more and more of the hardware hooks that
Classic USED to have to talk to the computer. These days virtually
everything of a network nature is passed directly to the relevant
frameworks in OS X itself for handling.
You will get the same error messages with nearly ALL the control
panels in 9.2.2 these days.
Your best bet is to try a connection using TCP/IP only because pure
Appletalk connections to OS X won't work. This feature was disabled
in OS X back around v10.2.x
I think this is the cause of a lot of the grief people have been
having with getting connections working between Macs and the Newt of
late.
I use Dock TCP/IP 2.1 from kallisys.com which means you can talk TCP/
IP to NCU. I gave up on Appletalk in any form about 3 years ago.
Time to move on I reckon.
Hope this sheds some help and light on the subject for yourself and
others in a similar situation.
regards
