Re: 6.0.0 Laserwriter driver needed/AsanteTalk bridge trouble

[Gary Gouriluk <gvgouril@shaw.ca>]

I have found that when I try to choose a server when using the AsanteTalk,
the system hangs and I cannot get on the network. No problem using
AppleTalk ImageWriters or LaserWriters. However, my gs is able to use the
AsanteTalk to access the network volumes, if it has already been set up to
mount them automatically.

I first had my gs on the network through Apple's LocalTalk Bridge
software, and everything worked perfectly. When I turned off the LocalTalk
bridge software and replaced it with the AsanteTalk, the volumes that had
been set up to open on boot still worked fine. The problem seems to be
with the chooser, which hangs when the AsanteTalk is on the network.
