I just bought Liaison 3.0 and tried to install it on a MAC PLUS
(I used the two LocalTalk ports for printer and phone).

It works fine as a Router ... 
But it's just not doing what I bought it for! 

Situation: We have an extended net for administration (several zones).
           We have also a public room with Macintoshes and printers where 
           students can do their 'homework'. For some purposes we need to 
           couple the two nets. BUT: the students should not be able to access  
           the administrative services.

Liaison 3.0 has nice checkboxes in the setup (network services) that allow you 
to hide one zone from the other. But this has just ABSOLUTELY NO effect. 
Whatever setup I make (I really tried hard all the permutations; and of 
course I rebooted after setup changes) ... 
The Router works perfectly TRANSPARENT, BIDIRECTIONAL !!!

What's the reason for the inactive 'hide-checkboxes' ???

Thanx for any help ...
