Wrong on all counts. First of all: by default, netatalk uses AFP over TCP/IP, not the old-style Appletalk protocol. Second: Even so, old-style Appletalk was just another IP protocol (on a level with TCP/IP). Firewalls can deal with it, though it isn't really necessary, as Appletalk shouldn't be used across a WAN. Third: check your spelling. -- Andrew Farmer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
