[comp.sys.mac] Info request - AppleTalk broadcast

matthew@uvabick.UUCP (Matthew D. Lewis) (01/20/88)

I run a fairly large AppleTalk network running on LocalTalk cabling (Phonenet,
actually).  We have some 45 Macs, with about 60-70 people using them.  Every
time there's a server problem, or a printer problem, I have to phone
everyone that I can find.  I'd like something that would allow me to broadcast
(break in, that is) to everyone's screens.  Specifically, an application or
DA to do the broadcast, and an init or driver to receive it.  Anyone no of any
such thing?  Please reply by e-mail, and I'll summarize if there's anything
interesting.  Thanks a lot in advance.
