Graham,
Plan B worked. Thanks for your help.
No need to increase the net range. The way appletalk address numbering
works there are 253 available nodes per network address. A net range of
1000-1001 gives me openings for 506 devices.
For the benefit of others on the mailing list here is a good link regarding
appletalk:
