Hi folks,
	I recently discovered ARNS - I have some questions about operation.

My situation is as follows.

	1) Mac IIci at home running System 7.0 + tuneup.
	2) Mac SL/IP 1.0 from HydenPark.

I installed Network cp 3.0 and Appletalk 58.0 from the Network Installer
available on ftp.apple.com. (as the documentation suggested getting a
recent version.)  I installed IPRemote as described.

I can successfully connect to a host running the arns daemon.  On that same
wire is a FastPath. (I read about the drawback to MacSLIP 1.0 - and
dismissing the dialog with the shift key, etc).

It all works - I see all the campus zones and can do AppleShare mounts, set
and use the printer, etc. etc.

My primary problem is that the Mac crashes a bit often.  It seems to crash
in different applications (as determined by MacsBug) at different times.
Needless to say it "never" crashes when I'm not running IPRemote.

I've tried pulling out the vast majority of my INIT's but so far it seems
to still crash. It most likely to crash when a TCP/IP app is open as well.
The last thing I did last night was make sure that SHeap is loaded as the
first, that seemed to result in the longest up-time so far (it didn't crash
before I got tired).

For as long as I tested it Async AppleTalk worked fine,  but I'd rather use
IPRemote if I can use it at the same time I can keep my IP connections.

My questions are:

	1) Has anybody else tried running IPRemote over SL/IP and had it
work consistently?  I'd be interested in hearing "works for me" if that is
the case.

	2) What, exactly does SHeap do and why would it be required.  If I
need to use this, does it indicate something about my configuration that I
should change?

	Thanks for any help.  And thanks to djh for his time and effort on
these tools.
