[NTLK] AppleTalk sniffer for Newton

[Craig Bradley]

Thank you for the recommendation. I tried it, the readme states it is an early version and it very much is. I actually found more utility with your original suggestion of using the Dock to do it. I knew that the Dock could do it but was hoping there might have been an easier way with less clicks.
