I recently upgraded to AppleTalk-for-VMS version 3.0 which does Phase 2
AppleTalk.  With the previous version of this software you could specify
that the VMS system belong to an AppleTalk zone different than the
Ethernet's default zone.  I have been unable to configure this with the
version 3.0 software.

Our Ethernet is very large.  Under phase 1 AppleTalk/EtherTalk we had
been able to split up the multitude of work groups into separate zones.
Now apparently under phase 2 all AppleTalk for VMS version 3.0 systems
must be in the default Ethernet zone.

Anyone know how to specify a VMS system to default to another zone name
other than the internet's default zone name.

Our group's other AppleTalk hardware is a FastPath currently running as
a transition bridge.

Thanks,
Mike Cherry
