Re: AppleTalk issue(s) in Panther

[aawillems]

It's been my experience that AppleTalk is just too flakey to use under 
OS X. I'm a Network Admin for a Production Company in the Bay Area, and 
there are over 100 Macs on the Network. Appletalk works fine under OS 
9, but OS X it just plain stinks. I recently upgraded about half of our 
network to OS X. I have abandoned Appletalk printing, and have switched 
over to Rendezvous and IP printing.

Second, I'm now having some of our users log into our Windows File 
Server over SMB.  We still use the UAM from Microsoft to log in via 
afp, but it is extremely slow under Panther. It turns out Microsoft 
hasn't even bothered to update their UAM in over 2 years. I'm not 
holding out for an update. My advice is too abandon Appletalk, if you 
can.
