Um. Linux has afpfs which allows you to mount an appleshared volume, sort
of [there are - or were, last time I looked, lots of issues relating to
resource forks and the like still to be resolved]. I'm not sure if any of
the other unices can mount afp volumes. Although I suppose if you had a
Linux box available, it could re-export the afpfs volume NFS.... [this is
beginning to sound like a really _really_ icky solution... ]
