Doesn't sound like you did much wrong. The AT&T software just doesn't seem
to work on many configurations. Go to
for a working server, and look down the Contributions page for "MacOS
(alternative)" viewer, done by Purple Shark. I am also in the process of
writing a new Server based on the more vital snippets of an old AT&T
server, and may progress to a new Viewer too.
