Responder responds to requests from Inter*Poll for information.
Inter*Poll is an Apple product (order number M-0697) which is sort of
ruptime, ping, and finger rolled into one. If you are administering an
AppleTalk network with more than just a few nodes, you almost certainly
should have Inter*Poll; with it you can see who's on the net, what version
of the system software they are running, test network connectivity, etc.
