Message-ID: <1477@aecom.YU.EDU> Date: Fri, 4-Dec-87 11:42:02 EST Article-I.D.: aecom.1477 Posted: Fri Dec 4 11:42:02 1987 Date-Received: Wed, 9-Dec-87 20:28:31 EST Organization: Albert Einstein College of Medicine, NY Lines: 16 Keywords: TCP/IP Conference Xref: utgpu comp.protocols.appletalk:260 comp.sys.mac:9427 Just thought you'd be interested to know that Apple has decided to rename AppleTalk to LocalTalk. I guess this is because "AppleTalk" is not the only "Talk" anymore (e.g., EtherTalk). This is per the head of TCP/IP work at Apple who attended the TCP/IP Interoperability conference and discussed Apple's plans to provide a standardized TCP/IP driver which any application could use. (A file which will live in the System Folder will load the driver into the System Heap.) He talked about the several things they are working including LocalTalk over IP, IP over LocalTalk, and Proxy Ethernet over LocalTalk. Nifty stuff. -- Robert N.
