MORE INFORMATION AppleTalk and Banyan VINES protocols are used on a
communications network system that interconnects computer workstations,
printers, shared modems, and other computers. AppleTalk and Banyan VINES
protocols are removed from the MDAC Client Redist Setup Program because they
are proprietary protocols that are not owned by Microsoft. Also, these
protocols are security-scrubbed, and are not used by most customers.
Users who are interested in using these protocols may have to access the
information from the respective product family. REFERENCESFor more information about Microsoft Data Access
