Netatalk does not implement appletalk over IP. I don't think there are any
implementatinos that work under a current version of linux.
Note that asun's patches implement AFP (AppleShare) over TCP-IP which is
different from AppleTalk over TCP-IP.

AppleTalk zones are defined through a seed router. Netatalk can act as a
seed router but if there is already a seed router on your network then you
cannot change the zone configuration for your subnet. You can appear in a
different zone which already exists on your subnet by telling afpd to
register in a different zone. See man afpd.

Can you telnet from the Mac to the machine running netatalk?
