Oh, it's been an ongoing Saga :)

But there seems to be a spot of sunshine:

Under "Networking News and Information" on
<http://developer.apple.com/macos/opentransport/>:

	Mac OS X Will Support Open Transport APIs
   (but not 'classic' AppleTalk or MacTCP)

But the link just takes you to the OSX page. Blargh.

Well maybe, maybe not. Unfortuneately, a lot of the OSX docs seem to be in
pdf format.

I know there were huge fights about it on Usenet (uh, the 'huge' and
'fights' part may be redundant :))
