It should be. What kind of errors are you seeing? atalkd should be
logging lots of stuff. Also, what does your config file end up looking
like? Does nbplkup show the PowerBase?

You want IPNat.  How fast is your modem? The IIci will probably handle
a 14.4 fine, and maybe a 28.8. The computer itself will handle up to
about 38400 w/o problem. For 57600, you'll want to use hardware flow control
(cdtrcts). For a modem that fast, it might be best to download big things
to the IIci and then ftp it to the PowerBase.

In /etc/rc.conf should be a line which enables sendmail. I think it's
sendmail, which you want to make NO.

Take care,
