   I'm reading an article from the 2/24/92 issue of Communications Week which
   has John Veizades from Apple saying that the IETF AppleTalk/TCP/IP Working
   Group is "firming up a specification for AppleTalk over the Point-to-Point
   protocol". Does anyone have any information about this?

The latest (and hopefully final) version of the specification is up a an
internet-draft.  Here is a copy of the announcement:


A Revised Internet Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
directories. This draft is a work item of the 
Point-to-Point Protocol Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

Note: This revision reflects comments received during the last call period.

       Title     : The PPP AppleTalk Control Protocol (ATCP))         
       Author(s) : Brad Parker
       Filename  : draft-ietf-pppext-appletalk-03.txt
       Pages     : 20

The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method of 
encapsulating Network Layer protocol information over point-to-point 
links.  PPP also defines an extensible Link Control Protocol, and 
proposes a family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing
and configuring different network-layer protocols.                    

This document defines the NCP for establishing and configuring the  
AppleTalk Protocol over PPP.
