The = netatalk port's afpd (Apple File Protocol daemon) can speak AFP over both D= DP/ASP and TCP=2C and I'll keep afpd working over TCP of course. I'm talkin= g about disabling AppleTalk protocol support. >=20 >=20 I think that making it optional would be smartest choice. I think only peop= le with older equipment that cannot do TCP would need it and that most like= ly is a select few. definitely better than flat out removing completely. =20 _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy is not the too busy.
