I took a peek at our AppleTalk network this morning using
AppleTalk Peek 3.1 and noticed that several of our computers
were involved in the following conversation:
[ ] S: 16 D: 1 T: 200 dT: 186 (0003) L: 40
01 10 01 00 25 FD F9 03 40 01 04 BA 53 74 65 76 ....%...@...Stev
11 F8 11 7E 34 6F 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ...~4o..........
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........
[ ] S: 1 D: 16 T: 204 dT: 4 (0004) L: 40
10 01 01 00 25 F9 FD 03 80 00 04 BA 4E 69 63 6B ....%.......Nick
00 00 11 7E 34 6F 00 00 00 00 FF FF 4C 69 00 00 ...~4o......Li..
00 00 00 00 00 00 FF FF ........
Node #1, socket #253 ('FD') is used by our Microsoft 2.0 Mail Server.
A little bit of investigating leads me to believe that the conversation
is something like this:
client: do I have any mail?
server: no.
Two questions:
1) why is there no release packet? I was under the impression that
sending tRel packets at the end of an ATP transaction would be
'good form'...
2) who are 'Stev' and 'Nick'? (The programmers wrote wrote MS Mail?)
Thanks for your support.

There are no release packets because the atp request is not "XO" (exactly-once) "Nick" is Nick Holt, who wrote Intermail which became MS-Mail 1.0 which begat MS-Mail 2.0. ;-) -brad
