AppleTalk, like TCP/IP, is a complete networking protocol stack.
They may share the same ethernet hardware, but they're two totally
different "languages".
On top of a basic stack, you add application protcols - afp, ftp, http, etc.
Apple's File Sharing (aka AppleShare) is afp (Apple Filing
Protocol). AFP/AT is what classic File Sharing did -- AFP over
AppleTalk. In OS 9, Apple introduced AFP/IP -- AFP over IP.
And to confuse matters more, You can browse for an AppleShare IP
Server via AppleTalk but it will first attempt to make the client /
server connection via IP. Barring that it will fall back to AT.
In terms of the end-user home networking... Older printers require
AppleTalk. Newer printers can do IPP (Internet Printing Protocol).
OS 6/7/8 requires AppleTalk for AFP. OS 9 and X can do AFP/IP.
