I can't verify this until I restore connectivity. :( (See below...)

I don't see anything added to the messages log when i try to connect. But I
do see this earlier in the log:

So while The Vault does show up in the chooser, since no volumes were
registered, I can't connect?

I'm lost here.

Yes.

No, holding Option down changes nothing. :(

There is nothing set in afpd.conf. Someone advised me privately to add a
line to it. But it was working before and nothing was in there. So I am
really hesitant to do that.

Help! :(
