Brad, I gave the commands you asked $ ps auxww | grep atalkd | grep -v grep root 1308 0.0 0.0 2028 688 ? S 17:43 0:00 /usr/sbin/atalkd $ lsmod | grep appletalk appletalk 43456 18 and both appear to be working properly. I really believe that this problem has to do with network not being passed across the AsanteTalk - but I don't believe the AsanteTalk is faulty (if that makes any sense). I think there's some black magic voodoo (like the init string with the modem) that I'm missing. The AsanteTalk works fine with Mac OS 8.6 and 10.4.8. One UseNet post I found claimed his AsanteTalk only worked with Linux if some traffic was passed over it first (via MacOS). The manual for the AsanteTalk claims that the AsanteTalk must be the last device started. While neither of these solutions worked for me, I believe it is something like this. One thing that may be useful to you is that when Debian starts, it claims it is starting AppleTalk (and that this may take a while). Then it claims that nbp_register (sp?) timed out trying to register computername:[EMAIL PROTECTED] and something else (I didn't write it down, but I can try if it is relevant). Is this helpful?
