I don't know if it is still in print, or not, but Apple's _Inside AppleTalk_
is around. I have the first edition (I suppose a rareity). There is
at least a second edition that describes "phase 2" networks. As mentioned
in another post, the Apple Developers site has additional information.
A search on one of the bookseller's sites should yield some good books.
The reason I got the 1st edition, is that the 2nd edition was coming/came
out and Apple has some "extras". I guess there is some goodies one can
get, even as a contractor!!
p.s. If you decide to hack away, get something that can look at the
packets on the wire. Usually they have decoding modules that can show
how clients/servers SHOULD interpret the packets.
