I'd talked to an Apple engineer about how the Chooser refuses to
turn on AppleTalk after the ImageWriter has been used without a
reboot in between.  I think that his comments apply to a previous
poster's comments about '0's at the start and end of lines after
switching from LW to IW.  (I'd seen it, too.)

He said that the Chooser does not re-initialize the serial port;
that's only done at reboot or startup time.  He said that Apple
intended for you to use only one kind of device on the serial
port in between reboots.

Hey, Apple, this is a bug!  I have a modem on the modem port,
an IW on the printer port, and I like to be able to hop into
LW to create PostScript files for uploading.  Any chance of a fix?

Thanks.
