ABSTRACT:

This files contains ATTOKLLC.NLM v3.1, which allows Macintoshes to communicate
in a source routing environment.  This updates the 3.0 release and adds support
for non-IBM Token Ring LAN cards, while continuing to support the IBM Token
Ring LAN cards.  This NLM was also modified to allow IBM PCs/Compatibles
running the Farallon PhoneNet Talk software, on a Token Ring network, to
communicate properly with the NetWare v3.11 server.

ISSUE: 

ATTOKLLC.NLM v3.1

 The ATTOKLLC.NLM is needed in a source routing environment when either an
Apple Internet Router or Apple TokenTalk 16/4 interface card is used on the
network.  This NLM will respond to the 802.2 LLC Test Poll frames that are sent
by the Apple products.  The ATTOKLLC NLM registers a Source and Destination SAP
of AA (Snap) and a command of F3 (Test Poll) with the LSL so that the proper
response (Test Poll Final) can be returned to the sending node.

 A previous version, ATTOKLLC.NLM v3.0, that shipped with NetWare for
 Macintosh v3.0, 3.01, and 3.011, would only support the IBM Token Ring
adapter.  This new version, ATTOKLLC.NLM v3.1, supports the IBM adapters as
well as other third party Token Ring adapters.

 Additionally, Version 3.1 ATTOKLLC was created to register an additional frame
type with the LSL, an SSAP of AA, DSAP of 00, and command F3.  The modification
was necessary to allow IBM PCs/Compatibles running the Farallon PhoneNet Talk
software, on a Token Ring network, to communicate properly with the NetWare
v3.11 server.
