  My last reply got botched, so here goes again.  I run Responder, Broadcast,
Public Folder, Dumper, and NCSA Telnet regularly on a group of Macs, with
NO (repeat, NO) problems.  I run AppleShare client (to an aufs server)
occasionally on them (as well as Tops on one), and have never had any
problems with them (including printing).  I suggest you check to see
if you have the latest versions.

  Interpoll (Apple's network monitoring package) can query a Mac to find
out it's current version of the System, Finder, and LaserWriter, and it
need Responder to report back this information.
