Subject: ushare to netatalk resource fork conversion?

Hi all-
We have a bunch of old servers, all using IPT's UShare package to
provide net access to our Solaris filsystems. I also have a brand-new
file server (running Netatalk) with a RAID that I want to move all the
data onto. The problem: we're talking about over 50 gigs of data and
I'd need some killer Macs (which I don't have) to move that much data in
a reasonable amount of time.
What I would rather do is to move the data from one Unix filesystem to
another, then convert the UShare resource forks into the format used by
Netatalk. Does anyone have any ideas or pointers to get me started?
I've done enough analysis to discover that the two packages' forks are
very different, but that's it. Pointers to detailed specs of the
different resource fork layouts would suffice; I've already accepted the
fact that I'll probably be writing a conversion program...
Any thoughts would be appreciated...
