AppleTalk Remote Access: AppleTalk v57 and Multinode

Does AppleTalk Remote Access (ARA) 1.0 use a new version of AppleTalk?
Yes. A new version of AppleTalk (version 57) was created specifically for AppleTalk Remote Access. One of the key components in version 57 is a new technology called "multinode." Multinode allows an AppleTalk device (that is, a Macintosh) to acquire and defend multiple AppleTalk nodes.

Apple Remote Access version 2.0 installs AppleTalk version 58.1.3 on your Macintosh.

NOTE: Some older routers may have problems in dealing with the multinode technology. In these rare cases, NBP lookups may not get returned, making it look as if there are no services on the network you've called.
