Thanks for the reply.

Yes, the interface was communicating IP so it must have been up physically.

As far as the apple int being up, an apple interface that does not see any
other apple out on its segment will still come up after a period of time.
It will time out looking for its node number and consider its number safe
when it does not hear back from its AARP. It takes longer than bringing up
apple nodes on a segment that already has an active node on it. This is my
experience.

Important to note...
1. (most likey) I got this wrong because I didn't know it.
2. Its not possible and we were not supposed to setup Apple on this
interface, eventhough, it was not on the list of don't configure AT on these
interfaces.

Has anybody actually configured AT over ATM?
