     NAME
          appletalkrc - AppleTalk(Reg.) network configuration file

     DESCRIPTION
          appletalkrc contains  information  for  configuring  an  Ap-
          pleTalk  network.   The  file is created at boot time by the
          AppleTalk startup routine and is configured for EtherTalk by
          default.   The  format  of  the  file  consists of a list of
          parameters and values, one per line:

             parameter=value

          Comments are indicated by a # character and  continue  until
          the newline.  The following parameters are defined:

          interface The name of the default AppleTalk interface.   The
                    value  for this parameter can be either ethertalk0
                    or localtalk0.

          ethernet  The name of the hardware interface to be associat-
                    ed  with  the  EtherTalk interface.  The value for
                    this parameter is a string such as ae0.

     EXAMPLES
          This is the default appletalkrc  file  created  by  the  Ap-
          pleTalk  startup  routine  for  a  system with one EtherTalk
          card:

             # AppleTalk configuration file

             interface=  ethertalk0

             ethernet= ae0
