I was paging through the AppleTalk include file for the MPW Assembler (v2.0A3), and I found a couple of lines that defined DDP type 5 as "RTMP+", with one command code called "GetNetInfo". Does anyone know what RTMP+ is? It's not in my copy of Inside AppleTalk... -- Clayton M.

Clayton: At first I thought that might have something to do with EtherTalk and supportting more than 254? nodes on a cable. But, I found a reference to DDP type 5 in my June 1986 copy of Inside AppleTalk on page V-9. There it is claimed to be a "RTMP request" which allows non-bridge nodes to "request the numberof the network they are on and the address of a bridge on that network". So, It doesn't look like an extension. But is anyone, outside Apple, using it? SaS -------
