 Certain requirements must be met before Inter*Poll can identify an Apple II
 on a network:

 Apple IIGS
 ----------
 For an Apple IIGS to appear in the "Device List" window of Inter*Poll, you
 must:

 1.  Select "Built-in AppleTalk" from the Control Panel.  At the same time,
    set the port that the network is connected to, generally the Printer
    port, to "Your Card".

 2.  Shut down and restart the system.

 3.  Run Inter*Poll on the Macintosh, or have it running and checking the
    network.  The Apple IIGS should show up in the Device List window.

 Apple IIe
 ---------

 1.  Install Apple II WorkStation card in slot 7 of Apple IIe and connect
    LocalTalk port to network.

 2.  Start up system and log into a ProDOS server on the network. Once the
    system gets past the Password screen, the device shows up in the Device
    List window of Inter-Poll.

 The important requirements are:

 - Having Built-in AppleTalk selected in the Control Panel of the Apple IIGS

 - Having the proper port set to "Your Card" on the Apple IIGS

 - Being past the Password screen on an Apple IIe with WorkStation Card.
