Dan,

Which version of HyperCard are you using? There is some terrible
flakeyness in version 2.0. I have been in contact with Donald, and
he is in the last stages of testing a NEW 2.0 suite of XCMD's called
"multitalk" I will be getting a copy to look at within the next few
weeks.

I have used the ADPA XCMDs here for about 6 months on version 1.2.5
with out any problem. If you check out December 89 MacTutor there
is a stack in there that set's up a HyperAppleTalk Event loop which
is the most stable way of handling AppleTalk I have seen
