(This message is mostly FYI)

Well, I finally figured out why Chooser takes so long to start up with a KIP
gateway running.  It is because the current KIP code responds only to DDP
Zip Queries, not to the ATP Get[myzone,zonelist].  Any ATP packets to the
ZIS socket (6) in the KIP gateway are currently identified and dropped.
Thus, Chooser asks a few times for the name of the current zone, then when
that fails it tries GetZoneList a couple of times.  After that (and it seems
like a long time to the user) Chooser gives up.

Has anyone else written the ZIP stub needed to return the zone name from the
KIP config info ?  (I know Bill Croft may be doing this now.)

Also, I believe this is why AppleShare is not happy about writing an
"AppleShare Prep" file when running on a net with a KIP gateway.
