RE: (ASCEND) Re: AppleTalk over PPP

So what code revision does ATCP reside?  I have the same issues and sent
a message just prior to reading this thread about Ascend support for
AppleTalk.  And does the PXX models support ATCP?

Thanks

Kirk

	OK. I have been informed :)

	I will talk to our tech support group about this to determine if
this 
	should be a TR, or if this is a request for new
functionality...since
	I read the docs as implying we did support AT over PPP
(ATCP)....
