This isn't good. My main need for the interaction of a OS X client w/
the netatalk server is specifically the transfer of large files. Samba
doesn't help in that respect, because I need to transfer the files w/
resource information intact, which I can only do w/ netatalk as far as I
know.
My transition from OS 9.1 to OS X didn't indicate that I no longer
needed OS 9.1 applications - hence the need for resource information in
the files. Photoshop files, Quark files, application installers and the
like are still needed in Classic.
Is the main compatability problem on the client side? I read somewhere
that the commercial Apple File Sharing solutions for Windows NT and UNIX
do not suffer from the same problems as netatalk.
