    I have a Mac IIx with a 3COM ethernet card connecting me to the campus
ethernet.  A colleague has a Mac II with a Dove FastNet II ethernet card
connecting him to campus ethernet.  Therefore, the 2 of us can run Appletalk
protocols over ethernet.  We each tried running Broadcast 1.2 & Public Folder
1.0 - I could "see" jeff with Broadcast and Public Folder and successfully
sent him a message and fetched a file.  He could "see" both himself and me
running Broadcast with AppleTalk on but not my public folder; with Appletalk
off running PF, he got a message that AppleTalk was required and it was turned
on automatically but now he could not see me anymore.
    I know is that I have a CDEV (Network) that lets me choose whether Appletalk
packets will go out the printer port (Built-in) or via the ethernet card
(Ethertalk).  Jeff's card does not have the Ethertalk option but only FastNet.
He doesn't have the EtherTalk 1.1 document in his system folder.  Should he??
Can anyone explain what is going on?
