    I just disabled RTMP split horizon on the hub sub-int, and the ping
works. But I don't undertand why.
    I know RTMP is a distance vector protocol, but why would routing even
occur in this case? I'm thinking that they are on the same cable range, so
it is a directly connected device. I'm reading Caslows AT chapter as we
speak (errrr, write), but I'm missing how RTMP would affect a ping on the
same newtork (cable range). Unless of course AT doesn't look at it that way.

Interface is multipoint and they are all on the same net. It is also a
sub-interface.

The hub has a mapping to both spokes, and the spokes have a mapping to the
hub and the other spoke. They are all on the same cable-range and zone,
differnt nodes. The hub sees both spokes, and can AT ping both spokes. The
hub can also see other zones off ethernets on the spokes. The spokes can AT
ping the hub, but not the other spoke. I've checked the mapping and they are
there. I've debugged appletalk packet, but am having trouble deciphering it.
