We're running MIT's TechMail version 1.0 on 2 Mac Plus's under MacOS
6.0.5.  These Mac's are connected to a Localtalk network which is
gatewayed to an ethernet via a Gatorbox.  TechMail runs using Apple's
MacTCP software.

Sometimes when our people here run TechMail, after it has completed
some action dealing with the network (like posting a message or
checking or receiving mail), it will bomb the OS with the screen
saying something like "System error has occured  (ID=2)".  I tried to
get information from Apple and eventhough their answering system said
it was connecting me to "technical support", they claimed they can't
help me "because they're not technical support"(?).  Anyway, I called
our local bookstore and they happened to have a program which told
them that ID# 2 has to do with "an address or communication error".
What TYPE of address?  An IP address?  A memory address?  A disk
address?  What type of communication error?  A network comm. error?  A
program to user comm. error?  A IPC error?  Talk about useless...

Has anyone seen anything like this before?  Anyone?...  Anywhere?...
