As Netatalk doesn't run on DigitalUnix, at work we use Helios EtherShare
on a DEC Alpha. Actually, it was not me who installed the package, but our
network administrator, who isn't very skilled with Apple hardware and
AppleTalk.
Obviously everything works fine, so the installation can't be very
difficult and EtherShare seems to be as stable as netatalk. In
addition, it has a nice administration tool. So, I could vote for
EtherShare; it does good work.
