This solution works just fine for me between a whole building of macs [os
9, can't speak for osx, but I would use something other then netatalk] and
two buildings of win95/98/me/xp/2000 [aargh, we need to standardize]. If
you need help with the netatalk on Linux or mac I can bring in our mac guy
to help with conf files.
