Hence the reason why I like AppleTalk/IP - simply because you can use the
chooser, *AND* you get the benefits of TCP/IP.
Granted, I can see how an AppleTalk-less afpd would be a boon to those
systems that lack any AppleTalk support, or don't need it as badly, so
it's definitely a good idea. It's also a great idea if you are on a large
network, and don't want other departments using your resources - as long
as you know what you are doing.
