Appletalk and Linux

[Eric Richardson]

Hi,
FWIW I use netatalk on Debian 2.2 and have one of the ethertalk to 
localtalk bridge(asante) to connect a postscript printer to the network. 
I never got lp to use the pap utility that sends PS to the printer but 
overall I'm really happy about it. The mac on the network and the 
appletalk works fine. The version netatalk I use(apt-get netatalk and 
need the appletalk kernel module) has to have an IP when the daemons 
start up and since I have DHCP and pcmcia usually I have to restart the 
daemons after startup as it takes a long time for network to be 
established. Didn't want to mess with inet.d to do some other hack.

Anyway,
Eric
