More accurately, it is very flaky on networks that are not 100%
EtherTalk Phase II.  If you have any machines running Phase I, you
are bound to have problems.

IPT, the uShare people, claim that they developed the client
AppleShare software. (I guess Jobs means 'without Apple's help' if
that's what he says, I just got my 3.0 video yesterday and haven't
had a chance to watch it)  From what I've heard about IPT's
products, the fact that it's flaky doesn't surprise me much.  But, I
have heard that the AppleTalk stuff does really 'just work' if you
are running 100% EtherTalk Phase II.
