Huh...  IIRC, there's an option somewhere (build or config, I don't
remember) that allows one to simply do AFPOverTCP.  I swaer that this was
possible.

With 0S9 you can use AFPOverTCP as an option when mounting in the
chooser.  To get said box into Network Browser, you'd probably need to
upgrade the SLP Extensions ion the clients and then manually add the
netatalk machine into a local SLP DA.  I think an easier method would be
to do a AFPOverTCP mount first, and then simply add said mount to your
Favorites folder.

And now, with us careening *wildy* off topic, I shall shut the hell up :)
