Does anyone know of any init or program that will allow a mac to do appletalk phase 2 over the built in local talk connector. I hear that system 7 will do this and I would like to know if there is a way to get system 6 to do it for testing with our campus net. Any info appretiated.

If asking for the ability to have extended addressing and multiple zones for a physical cable on LocalTalk, sorry, this is not going to happen. The same is true with System 7.0, a single zone name and a single network number per physical cable.... Scott Winders internet: winders@aux.support.apple.com AppleLink: winders.s@applelink.apple.com

From the book "The Advantages of Appletalk Phase 2" by Apple Computers Inc. Part No M0785LL/A. From a section on localtalk drivers: "Phase 2 LocalTalk drivers will be provided with Macintosh system software upgrades." also "However, certain new applicatons will require even Macintosh computers on LocalTalk to be upgraded to Phase 2 in the near future. The LocalTalk upgrade software will be available as a standard part of Macintosh system software verison 7.0." These are just two examples from the book. It mentions it in a few other places. What I am looking for is something that will give these functions today.
