I have installed an Apple EtherTalk in my Mac IIx and used the
Control Panel 'Network' device to send AppleTalk out over
Ethernet instead of the 'Built-In' printer port.  It seems that
once AppleTalk is redirected to Ethernet, my printer port should
be freed up for async use.

However, both Red Ryder and MacMenlo, my terminal emulators, are
unable to open the printer port once AppleTalk is enabled.  MacMenlo
even complains that the printer port is in use by AppleTalk.  How
can this be?  AppleTalk should be going out over Ethernet.  Rebooting
does not help.

Any help would be appreciated!
