We use the latest stable version of netatalk on a (Debian) Linux Server
2.2.19.

As we started to use netatalk we had two problems:

1. The connection establishment took about 30 secounds. The chooser
message was Connection establishment... Switchhing back to appletalk...
then came the login window. Finaly I set the notcp option and now its
works fine.

2. AfterI opened a document from the server while editind it or just
scrolling it my Mac looks like it freeze. But not, just the two arrows
indicate on the top left corner the network trafic with the netatalk
server and after 5-10 secound I can continue ma work.

To find the answare for my 2nd problem is very serius, but I think TCP
server could be faster and the answare form my 1st problem could solves
my 2nd problem as well.

As I tried to find this problems I found the followings:

The noadouble option my servers appears very-very slow. I tried it
because we use samba as well and PC users confused the .AppleDouble
folders. I edited the AppleVolumes.system file as well and put the
extensin/creatop pair for MS Word and MS Excel documents as well but the
2nd problem still remainig.

Any advice could help me! Thanks!

Peter
