I would be very much interested in those reports, too.
At my former working place we were using a Linux/netatalk solution. It
was ok (unstable once in a while [using the unpatched 1.4b2
distribution]).
At my new working place (since April 1st) we are using Helios
EtherShare on an old sun. I've no experience with it so far. However,
we are planning to run it on new hardware and we're not sure whether
to use EtherShare or Netatalk (or Sun PCShare).
