Mike,

I figured (and all the web doc suggests) that appletalk should just plain be 
there (that is, supplied with the install discs as a module), but my searches 
before your message, and my inspections of what modconf provides (both at 
install time and again after your suggestion) do not show appletalk available 
as a module.

Certainly I should be able to find some trace of it by:

find / -name appletalk*

but none shows up (at least not premade. I can find it as a source in kernel 
sources...)

Perhaps I need the vanilla flavor of Woody?
