hi all,

we recently got a set of new kinetics fastpath 4 boxes with documentation
dated 20-sep-89. in the manual, they talk _a lot_ about their support for
AppleTalk Phase 2 without actually saying what it is.

now what is AppleTalk Phase 2? just some fixes? something totally new?
any faster?

hmm - "Phase 2" reminds me of DEC's nomenclature for DECnet versions - DECnet
too comes in Phases. Anything to do with DEC's licensing of LAT to Apple?

any clarification welcome.
