<Unfortuantly the only options for a Mac these days are Appletalk or Samba,

<pain that long Xfer times.

There is no IP?

The DEC appletalk stack works but it's an additional load, not fast and
doesn't route (ATK encapsulated does route).

<In this case the only traffic on the network was between the Mac and the
