Kind of a strange thing to want, but so be it.
Netatalk is server-only software, for the most part. Both of the SUNs
would be appletalk file servers, but neither would be a client, so you
couldn't access the other machines volumes.
You could do a few minor things, like pinging, etc. across the machines.
Printing would also work, I suppose.
