Without atalkd you've no AppleTalk protocol.
Services which require AppleTalk won't work without it.
Afpd (in the asun versions) support afp over ip Connections in which case you don't need atalkd (you will get an error message at startup, however).

Without atalkd, selecting the server from a listof available ones in the chooser doesn't work.
Atalkd is a protocol daemon which sits on the network interfaces to do its Job. It doesn't need to fork.
Afpd forks for easier coding and handling of permissions.
