the terminal, or is all that code hosed? I gather the latter.
Was AFP better in 10.2.4? I remember thinking 10.2.4 had really
improved things, and a Google search located a Slashdot assertion that
10.2.4 was a big improvement, eliminating most SPODs associated with
SMB connectivity loss.
So they partially fixed it, but broke it again. I guess it won't get
much attention until Panther.
Sure would be nice if some generous uber-hacker came up with an
background application that could detect the problem and allow some
kind of clean shutdown.
