I'm not sure by the level of support of AppleTalk in OS X, so I don't know
if it really supports ADSP, but in order to print to my Personal LaserWriter
NTR (over an AsanteTalk), I have to enable "AppleTalk" in the Network
preferences. So, it's there, in one form or another. And if it wasn't there,
there is no way that NCU in Classic would be able to connect to my MP2100.
