(Previous posting canceled, this copy has a minor correction).
Using PhoneNet Liaison version 3.0.1 and Retrospect Remote version 1.2,
yesterday I started to shut down one Mac on the network.  Restospect
put up a dialog asking for "Shutdown" or "Restart", reminding me that
I intended to backup the system.  So I chose "Restart".  Then Liaison
reminded me that I had a router running, and offered "Shutdown" or
"Continue Routing".  I told Liaison to continue routing.  The
screen stayed mostly black, but playing around a little, e.g. exiting
an application, brought it back.  So I started the network backup and
went home.  The next day, I found that the machine I started to shut
down did not get backed up.  It seems that I should have told Liaison
to shut down, because the Retrospect Remote init had already shut itself
down, and would not come back until I restarted the machine.
