Apple has recently finished beta testing AppleShare IP 5.0, our new
AppleShare file server implementation.
The new AppleShare Client 3.7 supports AFP over IP.
Users can log onto older servers in the traditional method and communicate
via AppleTalk, or connect to a new server that supports afp 2.2 rev 8 and
as part of the negotiated login the server and client agree to talk via IP.
This allows for connections to remote servers across the internet and
across LAN's where the IS dept refuses to route AppleTalk.
If AppleTalk is available the Servers show up in the chooser using NBP. If
AppleTalk in not available there is a dialogue box for entering the IP
address or name of the remote server.
Details on the technology can be found at:

Details on the afp 2.2 rev 8 spec are at:
http://appleshareip.apple.com/appleshareip/text/afp2.2specificationv8.hqx
Are there any plans from the developers and maintainers to incorporate this
new spec into netatalk?

Life's too short to do DOS support.
