I found that Netatalk has problems with LocalTalk--EtherTalk bridges. I
have got a Dayna EtherPrint here, an Asant=E9 Print and a Shiva EtherGate.
All I ever got from pap when trying to access a QMS-PS 410 via the bridges
was an endless stream of "Bad response!". Pinging the netatalk-admins list
about the issue gave no response.
