   The problems you note are definitely the first mention I've seen of
anything near them. Anyone else have these kinds of problems (they'd
probably be pretty annoying enough to mention online), or not? If not,
I'd suspect memory trashing from something else in your system. Also,
do you have more than one Appletalk 'zone' in your setup (doubtful
if this is a home network as I assume)? If so, Derek Taubert may have
found and nuked a bug related to multiple zones-- I need to release
an updated GUPP.

   I own zero macs, and use no macs on a {daily, weekly, monthly}
basis. Thus, I can't easily even begin to replicate, let alone debug
any Appletalk bugs.
