We have recently purchased the  AlisaTalk fileserver  package together  with
four Kinetics FastPath bridges with the  intention of  linking together  our
four  Appletalk  networks  into  one  big  one,  and  providing   fileserver
capability from our Vax11/785.

The problem is that one of our networks has  a Symbiotics  Diskserver on  it
and the AlisaTalk stuff  doesn't seem  to like  it. When  the diskserver  is
turned off, everthing works fine; when  the diskserver  is on,  we lose  VMS
volumes, the printer spooler falls  over and  I get  fed up  with the  phone
ringing.

The question is: has anyone else had this problem? Is there anything we  can
do  about  it?  Is  it  likely  that the  Symbiotics is  not complying  with
Appletalk  protocols?  Is it  likely that  AlisaTalk is  not complying  with
Appletalk?

Any help, sympathy etc welcome

Nigel Titley
