I must say that you can have MacTCP _AND_ AppleTalk operate concurrently at full speed. This is the way it's designed. Personally I've tried, successfully, to be downloading a file from applelink using a Shive Netmodem, logged on to 3 different IP hosts over MacTCP, 'cat'ting big files to the emulation windows, and printing BIG files to a laserwriter, all at the same time at reasonable performance. This is with Apple's EtherTalk card, AppleTalk configured to EtherTalk Phase 2, and MacTCP configured to use the Ethernet directly. Well written software should do this.
