Yes, Macs are considerably slower then PC when it comes to networking stuff, but there is a way you can improve the speed. You need to move to applshare ip. The client is free and is availble from apple. If you run system 8, it already supports appleshare ip. As for netatalk, you need to run the version with the asun patch. This patch adds support for AFP 2.2 (supports appleshare ip). TCP/IP is the way to go. You can get the netatalk with asun patch version from the following: ftp://ftp.u.washington.edu/public/asun/ .
