The November NeXTworld Extra notes that 3.0's AppleTalk does not work on
"Large Networks".  I can vouch for this.  It is very flaky on our very large  
AppleTalk network.  I am also quite sure the flakiness has something to do with  
the minimal AppleTalk network management at our site.

At Interop, I complained to a NeXT person about this.  He told me that NeXT is  
preparing an interim release that will address this issue (better send back  
those license registration cards ;-).  He also offered to send me the  
appropriate modules to fix the problem.  Since NeXT has not made public the  
"bug fix," I will not get into details on exactly how NeXT has fixed this bug.
