Ah, I was labouring under the delusion that I only got ASIP if I clicked on
"server IP address". However, on reading the AShare client notes, I see that it
will automatically use ASIP connections if the server supports it, and you have
to option-click to use AppleTalk. So I did that and indeed the netatalk server
responds via AppleTalk. It's beginning to make sense...
The question now is why double-clicking the server-name in the Chooser fails
with a "Server not responding error", but clicking on the "server IP address"
and typing in the name (NB not the IP number) works. There are no routers om
this network, and I can't see any errors in the various logs on the Linux box.
