Dear Netatalk-admins!

   I need your help.

   I have spent a number of days trying to get the netatalk
afp server working on my linux 2.0.30 box connected to a
token-ring network, wothout any luck. I have appletalk
compiled into the kernel; the network adapter works fine
(I use it with TCP/IP all the time). Unfortunately, I don't
know whether linux's kernel appletalk works with token-ring,
or whether maybe that part is okay and the problem is with
my afp setup.

   Here are the symptoms:

   - 'afp' runs without complaint, but only for a few seconds.
   - 'getzones' gives "Unknown service."

(I have appletalk configured as a loadable module, and lsmod
shows that it is loaded.)

   Does anyone know whether linux's kernel appletalk is even
supposed to work? Is anyone else successfully using it?

   Thanks to all.
