As you see, the a load also includes IPX (for no particular reason other
than Ascend doesn't need to keep track of yet another load?).

The i load is 10% smaller on disk than the AppleTalk load:
b2a.p75 516448 bytes
b2i.p75 465971 bytes
Presumably, the i load also _runs_ in less RAM. We've all heard people on
the list complaining of errors, especially when altering firewalls. Perhaps
this sort of problem occurs less under an i load.
In any event, less is always more, especially when we're talking lines of
code. If it ain't there it can't break.
