In response to the managers at Dartmouth who've been having problems with
BroadCast, lemme offer a quick and easy solution...if you paid for
BroadCast, you should've received instructions on how to turn BroadCast
into nothing more than a message-daemon.  Users on our network can only
receive messages...they cannot send...this also reduces traffic since
we don't have all those BroadCasts making NBP lookups over and over again.

And we've never experienced one of those BroadCast-inspired crashes (so he
sez now...wait until later....).  

And finally, for all those posts regarding the adding of a message capa-
bility to AppleShare...I'd rather Apple spend more time adding 
accounting and network analysis tools...AppleShare will put up it's own
warning about server's going down...and for other things...you can use
BroadCast or, if yer afraid it'll kill someone's file...you can always
pick up a phone and call the lab and tell the guy on duty to make a little
announcement... :)
