     NAME
          appletalk - general AppleTalk interface

     DESCRIPTION
          AppleTalk for A/UX provides high-performance  EtherTalk  and
          low-cost  LocalTalk  connectivity  for A/UX systems. With an
          EtherTalk interface card, TCP/IP  network  services  can  be
          used  concurrently  with  EtherTalk  network services.  A/UX
          support for LocalTalk has been extended so that the standard
          Macintosh  serial  ports can be used. This enables AppleTalk
          printing in any A/UX hardware configuration, either from Ma-
          cintosh applications or the command line.

          AppleTalk Phase 2 is incorporated as well.  Its benefits in-
          clude  extended addressing, reduced network traffic, and im-
          proved routing.

          A/UX applications that make calls to the old  AppleTalk  in-
          terface  may  not work with AppleTalk for A/UX.  If you have
          any A/UX applications that make calls to the  A/UX  Toolbox,
          you  must re-link them to the Toolbox in order for those ap-
          plications to function properly.
