  It's actually easy. First, for phase 1 EtherTalk, simply drag the Phase 1 
icon into the system folder. It will automatically be put into the extensions
folder, and once you select it from the network cdev, it works great. 

  MacTCP is a little more tricky. You need to have copies of the cdev in both
the extensions folder and also the root level of the system folder. Once you
do this and reboot, it should work OK. 



	Hope this helps.

It doesn't!!  MacTCP 1.0.x does need to be in the System Folder itself,
not in the Control Panels or Extensions folder.  For convienence sake,
put an alias of the MacTCP cdev in the Control Panels folder.  The next
major release of MacTCP will fix this problem.

 This is true...my hands type faster than my mind thinks. Putting it in the 
root level of the system folder works fine.
