If you understand the risks of tunneling these protocols (esp. Appletalk),
and you're using Cisco routers internally at both ends, you can tunnel
both protocols over IP and do some filtering at the end of each tunnel.
You can also encrypt the traffic over an IPSEC tunnel if you want to give
some measure of privacy and ensure that the contents haven't been modified
in transit.
At that point, it's a matter of letting the tunnel through the firewall
and you can pick almost any popular firewall.
AppleTalk is just plain nasty as an internetwork protocol. Try to avoid
it if at all possible. Most Apple products will talk IP these days.
