The problem with AppleTalk might be caused by large zones. The unit timed
out before every device has replied to the initial query of the new device
on the network.
I know you don't have it, but SBM Utilities has a nice module called
"Recent". In that module, you will want to check the item "Connection".
Using a soup editor, you can also look for an entry with a tag of
"_M_connAppleTalk" in the System soup.
