I've been implementing most of the lower-level EtherTalk protocols
from (what I now know) is phase I EtherTalk, on a PC connected
to our campus Ethernet net, to enable me to write some AppleTalk-
speaking net utilities.  The PC uses the Clarkson packet drivers,
and the Macs on the net that the PC talks to are a combination of 
LocalTalk nets connected through routers and "directly" connected 
Macs with EtherTalk (?) boards.

At any rate, I've got the protocols I need/want implemented now,
but our campus will soon switch to Phase II EtherTalk, and I
need to know   
  
     a) the basic difference between Phase I & II,
and  
      b) a good reference book for Phase II that 
         includes descriptions of the packet formats
         used in all protocols.

I've been using "Inside AppleTalk" (first edition, I believe)
until now, and I'd like to know if the Second Edition
contains as much info on Phase II as the First, and/or
if there's any other recommended texts out there I should
look at.  Thanks in advance for any info.
