            I'm in the minority; but I believe in keeping AppleTalk running for one
    reason: PRINTING.

            Your System 7.6.1 Macs will need the Open Transport (v1.3, IIRC) from MacOS
    8.0 and the AppleShare Chooser Extension v3.8.3 to use AFP/IP (AFP 2.2).

            Lastly, make sure all of your NT4 servers are running Service Pack 6A, since
    there were a number of SFM bugfixes.

            Cheers!
            Dan
