I noticed this on Apple's Mac OS X page today. It's
regarding SMB and AFP with Mac OS X. Apple will have a patch out in
September upgrading OS X to OS 10.1:
***
Networking is also more compatible: Mac OS X version 10.1 now
includes the ability to connect to AFP servers over AppleTalk making
it easier to integrate Mac OS X into legacy networks with older
AppleShare servers and Windows NT servers. We've also added support
to natively connect to Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Unix-based SAMBA
file servers with the built-in SMB client. These servers appear right
in the Finder like any other file server. This makes Mac OS X fluent
in all of today's network languages.
***
The lack of classic appletalk was one of the main reasons we don't
have Mac OS X machines on our network. Maybe this will change things.
