I doubt that's the problem. FDDITalk, as it's called, is supposed to
use the same multicast values as EtherTalk. Also, she's receiving the
multicast RTMP routing data packets. I imagine the problem is that
she's using a posix compliant FDDI driver, and since the Solaris kernel
driver doesn't support the "I'm going to send broadcasts" ioctl(), it's
unwilling to send atalkd's ZIP GetNetInfo request.
I'm working on an update with that in mind.
