I use netatalk+asun for a production server and get great results with it.
goto ftp.u.washington.edu/pub/user-supported/asun get the source and
compile it. Its as easy as I would strongly suggest editing the
etc/afpd/Makefile and commenting out the -DCRLF flag ( about midways down
the make file ). There are a few other things I would suggest so if you
need help contact me.
