- I got a number of e-mail requests for info about netatalk. I read
- about it in this news group a while ago + now use it on a Sun Sparc1+
- serving several Macs with NFS disk space and Unix print spooler.
-
- It is VERY good and it is free. The only limitation is that it can't
- coexist with localtalk (ethertalk only + system 7 driver needed).
-
- We also use the Mac version of NCSA Telnet.
-
- Here is one of the orignal announcements about netatalk:
