3.x server with AppleTalk
This document applies to the EtherExpress(tm) 16, 16TP, 16C, FLASH,
FLASH TP, FLASHC, MCA, and MCA/TP adapters.
Macintosh* EtherTalk* drivers come in several flavors:
Protocol Frame Type
=======================================
EtherTalk 802.3
EtherTalk 1.0 Type II (8137)
EtherTalk 1.3 Type II (8137)
EtherTalk 2.0 SNAP
EtherTalk 2.01 SNAP
Adapter drivers can be loaded and bound in many ways as you will see in
the example below. The statements in CAPs are required statements for
EtherTalk or are necessary to get a specific frame type operational.
Be sure that STARTUP.NCF includes the command LOAD MAC. This is the
Macintosh Name Service. The file MAC.NAM must be in the bootup
partition and in the same directory as SERVER.EXE. This file comes with
the NetWare* software.

Notes
=====
Ethernet_II frames support AppleTalk phase I.
Ethernet_snap frames support AppleTalk phase II.
LOAD APPLETLK refers to loading APPLETLK.NLM. This is the
AppleTalk stack and router. The NET=5000 is an aribtrary AppleTalk
network number similar to the internal IPX net address. It must be a
unique number on the internet. ZONEs are logical groupings of
AppleTalk equipment for file and print services.
Bind APPLETLK is binding the AppleTalk protocol to an Ethernet Type
II frame or to the Ethernet SNAP frame. The NET= in these statements
is different from the NET= in the Bind IPX statements. It is a range
of network numbers found on the AppleTalk network. Net numbers for
AppleTalk Phase II must be defined as a range even if that range is
one digit long (i.e. net=20-20). Net numbers for AppleTalk Phase I
are single digit, 1-F like net=b.
Normally the INT= (interrupt) is not included in a load statement for
the EtherExpress adapter. However, when you are re-entrantly loading
modules if you do not include the INT=, you will be prompted for it
and then prompted for the frame type. This requires someone to
interact with the server during the boot process.
Load AFP - This is the loading of the AppleTalk File Protocol v2.0.
It is used to file requests to the server.
Load ATPS - This is the loading of the AppleTalk Print Server. It
processes requests from both DOS and Mac workstations.
