I believe that AFP 3.0 support is something that is being worked on
within the netatalk developer community, I don't know how far
along it is. As for wether or not your version has support for AFP 3.0,
I'd look at the docs (or the source for s definitive answer).
We often copy large files to and from Mac OS X servers/clients during
our testing.
Hope this helps
Leland
