Ah-hah. Probably used as an excuse to keep any Apple kit of the network. And
mostly heard from PC admins, shortly before their entire network locked up
for an hour as a browser election started.

Good enough, and plenty expensive. The only place I know that had a routable
Appletalk network was the Uni of Bath. And the routers regularly kept losing
the ability to route Appletalk. Caused huge problems with printers and
shares disappearing, machines crashing. I caused a huge fuss* just by asking
for someone to walk down the the switch room and put one of my clients
machines all on the same switch. Before that they where spread across 2
routers, and ever 30 mins file sharing would crap out and the machines would
crash.

So much so they just switched it off and forced everyone to use IP printing
and AS over IP.

Cisco all the way through.
