Kevin, the response I've always got from Apple is that their TCPTool is
intended *only* for MacX.  If you want to use the CTB *and* MacTCP, you're
supposed to go 3rd party, for the interconnection tool.  That's good for 
hardworking developers like InterCon or ASC.  But it's disappointing if you
were expecting an Apple-supplied solution to interconnect Apple's CTB with
Apple's MacTCP driver.
