- Yes. Thursby now have a CIFS Client / Server called DAVE - see

-
- They test it against Windows 95, Windows NT and samba for
- compatibility issues. At the time of writing, DAVE was at version
- 1.0.1. The 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 update is available as a free download from
- the Thursby web site (the speed of finder copies has been greatly
- enhanced, and there are bug-fixes included).
-
- Alternatives - There are two free implementations of AppleTalk for
- several kinds of UNIX machnes, and several more commercial ones.
- These products allow you to run file services and print services
- natively to Macintosh users, with no additional support required on
- the Macintosh. The two free omplementations are Netatalk,
