Just wanted to add - PsetSelfSend won't work unless you have a current
enough version of Appletalk. The version of Appletalk in ROM on the
Mac II, SE, and all later models are fine, but the MacPlus doesn't
have PsetSelfSend in ROM. On a MacPlus, you need to upgrade to the
current version of Appletalk by putting an INIT in the system folder
that patches to a current version (version 48 or above will work).
This INIT (called "Appletalk") is available from Apple (it was on 
the Phil and Dave's CD). To ship this INIT with a product requires 
a license from Apple, but I think the fee is nominal.

There is also a CDEV that was on Phil and Dave's CD called SetSelfSend
that can be used (as I recall) to toggle SelfSend on and off.
