Subject: Configuring atalkd for a net with no routers

I'm trying to set up netatalk for use on a very trivial network
(a IIci, a SPARC 2, and two printers using EtherPrint). My atalkd.conf
file looks like this:
ifconfig le1 0.0
ifconfig lo0 0.0
le1 UFOnet
route le1 lo0
zone UFOnet
le0 is connected to a different network with no Appletalk devices on
it. The problem is that atalkd refuses to acknowledge any other
devices on the net. If I register foo:LaserWriter using nbprgstr,
I can see it just fine on the IIci, but nbplkup will not find anything
on the net (it doesn't even send out any traffic on the wire, as
verified by a sniffer). I suspect this has something to do with the
fact that both le1 and lo0 are using net number 0. Am I close?
An unrelated issue: when (if?) this part is running, I'd like to
integrate it with Transcript (who's mention is conspicuously absent
in the docs). Can pap substitute for pscomm? Any special tricks
that people have out there?
Many thanks,
