Hmm.  Multicast?  I'm running an AmigaLink network (floppy based, ~ acrnet
speeds) and it does not support multicast yet I'm running both Envoy and
Amitcp (4.3).  

Basically you have two choices to make it work, both documented in the
AmiTCP manual (P 40-41 section 6.3).  One is to set the `FILTER' option for
each device in the AmiTCP:db/interfaces file.  The other method is to set
Envoy's IP Type and ARP Type to something different for what AmiTCP uses. 
I used 17999 & 18000. The former method is a little faster.
