Well after some snooping, it is obvious that (at the least) there is a
byte-swap problem. Watching the chooser hit the server I can see packets
received of type 9B80 (s.b. 809B).

Looking at the souce there are lots of lines ifdef(sun)&&ifdef(i386)
which (I don't think) can ever work, so I ripped out the ifs leaving all
the calls to hton intact. (hton does byte-swap, I checked). Still no joy,
the machine still sees the swap. I changed at.h to be 9B80 instead, but
that made
no difference. So how does 809b get itself registered to be APPLETALK ?

Anyway, help would be appreciated - the source is all kind of shredded now...
