SoundJam or SoundApp (happens with either one)
OS 8.6
iMac 233
I'll have to verify if the same problem occurs with my other mac (Starmax
3000/180 - 604e)

Well now something funny is going on. I see the linux box (The Vault) in
the chooser. But when I double-click it, I get a long pause, followed by
this message:
No response from the server. Please try again.
It doesn't ask for a name or password. It just can't connect.
ps uwax | grep atalk gives me:
$ ps uwax | grep atalk
root 529 0.0 0.4 1180 544 ? S 11:13 0:00 atalkd
root 703 0.0 0.5 1504 720 ? S 11:13 0:00
/usr/local/atalk/etc/afpd -F /usr/local/atalk/etc/afpd.conf
So atalkd and afpd are running. I'm not sure what the problem is... :/
