I have been working with a FastPath 4 running the KSTAR code, and
have been unable to get the FP to interact with the "Appletalk
Information Server" (atis in the KIP distribution) running on a
Unix host with the same intimacy (?) as a FastPath 3 running the
KIP code.  The problem shows up in that Macs on the LocalTalk net
attached to the FP4 don't see any services offered by the KIP/CAP
Unix host.  It appears that, when doing the NBP type queries when
looking for LaserWriters, AppleShare servers, etc. the KSTAR code
only looks on LocalTalk and EtherTalk (it sees services available
through other FastPaths).  Is there some subtly in the configuration
that I have missed?

Another question I had is what rev of atalkad information does KSTAR
support?  Specifically, does it understand the "stayinzone", "laserfilter",
and "tildefilter" values for the "flags" field (rev 9/87)?  I could
(and will) check this out, but thought I'd ask while I had your
attention :-).

Thank you,
