For me, I had the macs dropping the session when you tried to transfer
a file over about 1k :) I ended up putting "server -alltrans" in the
afpd.conf file, and the OS9 macs began using Appletalk over IP or whatever
it's called (Sorry, I'm not a very good mac guy, since I hate the things :)
And that problem went away for me.
