I think Appletalk's available on NT Servers.

Easy, run TCP/IP on the Apple, run NETATALK or CAP and Samba
on the linux (I'm using FreeBSD here) as the central server or hub
and run Microsoft networking with TCP/IP on the Winxxx boxes.

works great here... I've got a MacIIfx, Win95, Win3.1, OS/2, Linux and
FreeBSD all talking.
