I'm asking about this because the system I have set up as my netatalk is
also used as our general unix machine, and will soon be used as a samba
server. It would be nice to be able to save files, specifically macbinary
downloads, to the server from school, and then download them from home
using Fetch. As things are now, I would have to download both parts to my
linux box at home, then start up the mac. In summary, it would nice to be
able to look at a file with Appletalk, FTP, and SMP without having
problems. Macbinaries seems to me the best way to do this, at the moment.
It seems the above idea would also take care of the LF/CR translation that
seems to cause problems.
