Diana,

I hadn't made any recent updates to my systems, but I gave in with the promise
of more "robust" tcp/ip stack made in the release notes for the upgrade.
Before I went back to an older kernel (and that did solve the problem) I did a
cd /; find . -name atalk\* -exec rm {}\; to delete all references to anything
appletalk.  That appletalk stuff still kept on coming.

Hi John,

I appreciate the info. I don't have an older kernel to go back to since the old one had the same problem..:), but your info is educational...:) I'm leaving the above messages intact just in case Cobalt in general or Jeff Lovell in particular can find the complete answer. Even if it means just getting rid of Appletalk all together...I have no Macs anywhere on any network that the RaQ2s are on.

thanks again,
Diana
