Hi again,

	I've been experimenting with atalkd a bit more to see what conditions
seem to make it break, and there does seem to be a fairly clear pattern. 
If I'm the only one in the building (i.e., no-one else is printing, or 
really using the network) I can print to my heart's content as long as 
nothing 'bad' happens (e.g., the printer runs out of paper, ouch! 
-> zombie land). If other folks are printing and the NeXT has to 'wait 
in AppleTalk line', it's generally bad news. Anyway, I haven't heard
any fixes yet for this, but at least now I know that it helps to 1) check
for plent of paper first and 2) wait for everyone else to go home! :-(.

BTW, other than this *one* problem, I'm *really* liking 3.0. Of course
I've never had a 24M station before, bit I'll take a 24M 3.0station 
over an 8M 2.1 station *any* day. :-)

cheers,
-steve
