  We have an fx running A/UX 2.00 at my university, it's connected via ethernet
to the other unix machines at campus, and via localtalk to an AppleShare server
and an old laserwriter. In the past 4-5 weeks the appletalk interface has gone
down at least 3 times. What happens is that all of a sudden it won't print to
the LW or talk to the AS server, and when I try to find out what's happening 
with appletalk -s, it aborts with the message "no more processes" or something
to that effect. Appletalk -d does the same thing and atlookup sees nothing on
the net. So far the only solution has been to reboot the machine.
  Does anyone know why this happens, and how to:
    a: prevent it from happening, or
    b: bring the appletalk interface up w/o rebooting
