Bellamy Email: bellamy@covax.commerce.uq.oz.au >Dept. Commerce, University of Queensland, St. Lucia, AUSTRALIA In System 7, responder is built into the system file and is loaded at boot time. Do not put in the Responder INIT (That's why some of the SE/30's ask for a name) Two Responders is not good. The Human Interface folks decided that having Responder ask for a user/machine name was a bad idea so it no longer does this. (There was also a major problem in the factory, since there is nobody present to press "OK" when the machine boots for the first time!) Responder uses the 'Machine Name' from the sharing setup control panel as the name it registers on the network. Ignore the message from Inter*Poll that says you are not running Responder. It was not upgraded (Resources, timing, testing, etc) when System 7 was released. Mike Shoemaker
