Actually netatalk/tcp is not just around the corner, its already here.
I've been using asun's patches on two computers for about two weeks now.
Both computers are accessable through a normal PPP connection. Just make
sure you have the new appleshare client.

Quote of the day: The most important thing in the programming language is the
                   name. A language will not succeed without a good name. I
                   have recently invented a very good name and now I am looking
                   for a suitable language.
