I installed pkg/net/netatalk and try to print from a performa600 using
german system7.5.5/LaserWriter8. All print jobs hang and no data gets to
the printer.

After applying the following change, printing is fine. Comments?

The code in question is:

    /*
     * Ask for data.
     */
    cbuf[ 0 ] = connid;
    cbuf[ 1 ] = PAP_READ;
    if ( seq++ == 0xffff ) seq = 1;
    netseq = htons( seq );
    bcopy( &netseq, &cbuf[ 2 ], sizeof( netseq ));

The first PAP_READ package sent contains a sequence number of `2'. According
to `Inside AppleTalk' the first sequence number must be `1'.
