One of the things QuarkExpress 3.0 does when it starts up is to
attempt to register the serial number of the specific copy of
QuarkExpress 3.0 which is being launched.  If there is already
another copy in use with the same serial number on the network,
the second copy of the program will not run.

Although I don't know how A-Max II handles AppleTalk calls, I would
suspect that the crash may have something to do with the serial
number-based copy protection.  Versions 2.0 and later of SuperLaserSpool
2.0 (formerly sold by SuperMac, now sold by Fifth Generation Systems)
and DiskExpress 2.04 (ALSoft) also use this form of copy protection;
if you have access to these programs, you might try running them
to see what happens.

Quark Systems uses this instead of the disk-based copy protection
found on early versions of QuarkExpress; if this *is* the problem,
I suspect you'll have a difficult time trying to get Quark to
remedy it.

Hope this helps,

P.S. I'm a Mac user, not an Amiga user; hope no one minds! :-)
