You're right, I agree :)
I think, many people don't need TCP/IP under Mac OS if they have Linux, but
need Appletalk (like me). I've read list-archive and found only posts about
configurations with masquerading, forwarding etc. I've recompiled kernel,
read doc's, tried some configurations and... convince oneself, that I don't
need it. I have to only open Appletalk control panel under MOL, check and
uncheck something and save new-old configurations to disk (MOL 0.9.53-2,
MacOS 8.1, PM 5400/180). I have Appletalk with file sharing for MacOS and
TCP/IP for Linux. I need nothing else ;))
