In beta testing a new mail product (for use with DEC Pathworks) we have found 
that the use of the Appletalk-DECnet gateway tool fails with the latest
Macintosh system software v6.0.7 (Mac IIx). On trying to establish a 
connection I get an error of:

"An error occured setting configuration for the tool"

If I then quit out of the application and do a relaunch, I get:

"The communications toolbox was not closed properly. You must restart your
Macintsoh before connecting."

It *does* work with v6.0.5 of the system (albiet on a Mac II). The version 
number of the Appletalk-DECnet tool is 1.0, created 27 July.

Is this a known problem ???
