I need to know about the current state of high level protocols on
Appletalk.  By higher level protocol, I mean a protocal at a higher level
than that documented in Inside Appletalk.  Some examples:

mail
remote file system
modem server
printing

The only one of these that I even know exists, is the protocol for
printing, but I do not know where to find out exactly what that protocol
is.  I have heard that it defines a uni-directional stream, so it would not be
appropiate for, say, a modem.

Apple's work group metaphor is becoming more and more important to
the stuff I write, and I certainly want to maintain compatibility with
whatever I can, within reason.

Please mail to me.  I will summarize, and repost to the net if there is
any interest.  I would like to receive copies of protocol definitions that
are in use, pointers to the same, and information about evolving
standards.
