One note about ATM...
Not sure if you made it to the second day yet. One thing you can be
gauranteed, ATM is not a first day only thing. On my test there was a
question on getting Appletalk on interface a2/0 (question is not specific to
this interface just says all interfaces except x,y,z and a2/0 was not in the
x,y,z list). I could not even get it to show up as a connected interface
after putting the same commands on that interface as the others. It worries
me that nobody on this message board has been able to figure it out. I
don't know the answer. Other people at work don't know the answer.
Remember this is an all or nothing question - if you can't get it going on
this interface you shouldn't bother getting Apple going on any interface.
Needless to say, I didn't make it past the second day.
