  19. Let's please not redefine Apple's terminology?  From the "Inside
  20. AppleTalk #2" glossary:
  21.  
  22.     "seed router: an internet router in an AppleTalk network that
  23.     has the network number range built into its port descriptor."
  24.  
  25. By this definition, non-seed routers do not transform into seed routers
  26. once the net comes up, because their network number ranges do not
  27. become built-in.
