I send the following message to djh@mannuri.oz.au (the author), but has anyone
else got any ideas?


I've had a problem installing Async Appletalk on my Mac - a Classic running
6.0.7 (although the same problem has been had on an SE too). The problem is
that bits where it says:

"Install the 'Network' adev that normally comes with the 'EtherTalk' driver"

and

"Copy 'Async Appletalk' into the System Folder"

I have access to the Network file - we had an Etherboard on trial, and also
it's on the Network Installer Disk. However, without anything to actually
install (on the list of the Installer program that is), I was reduced to
merely copying this accross. The effect? Well, nothing major except that it
doesn't work. The Async Appletalk adev does not appear in the control panel.
The Network cdev complains that it has not been installed properly. Any ideas?
What is it that makes an "adev" appear in the control panel - this seems to be
the problem. I have tried removing practically everything else Control Panel
wise - except of the GateKeeper and the Comms Toolkit, but these do not seem
to be the problem - the system just seems to be ignoring the Async Appletalk
device.

Any ideas would be most helpful.

PS. I've tried both the one from the Webster Multigate distribution and the
one with CAP6.0.
