I have notice that NBPlookup call cannot detect certain devices on an
appletalk network. As an example I cannot detect Fastpath type 2 version
4.1.2 routers, although I have been able to detect earlier versions of
Fastpath. I can still detect ethergates. Some other devices that are
not detectable appear to be wellfleet routers, farallon star controllers,
and cisco routers.
Can any body help me on this as to how I can make my NBPlookup detect
the above entities. Or at least can any one from the respective companies
give me an idea as how can I detect those entities on my network.
Is this problem perhaps related to appletalk phase II?
In other words is there a different NBPlookup call to detect 
those specific devices.

thanks
