The
atalk_aton()
routine converts an ascii representation of an AppleTalk address to a
format appropriate for system calls. Acceptable ascii representations
include both hex and base 10, in triples or doubles. For instance, the
address `0x1f6b.77' has a network part of `8043' and a node part of
`119'. This same address could be written `8043.119', `31.107.119', or
`0x1f.6b.77'. If the address is in hex and the first digit is one of
`A-F', a leading `0x' is redundant.
