Thanx for the info, Dan. What you say about AppleTalk and EtherTalk seems a bit strange though; if I turn off AppleTalk in System Preferences, I can still use Connect to... from Finder: how come?
hum. Ok. Lemme back up a bit. :)
AFP *is* an AppleTalk/AppleShare protocol. Its routines reside within shared libraries, so they're accessable at any time. At issue is how you access which underlying network layer (stack).
AFP over EtherTalk requires that AppleTalk be "turned on".
AFP over IP requires that TCP/IP be "turned on".
The system sniffs which stack to use by your input, an AT name vs an IP addr.
So the problem of OS9-servers for OSX is well known, appearently. But what can I do about it? I can't and won't go back to OS9 client side, and need a simple setup for my un-technical users to connect.
What I'm doing about it is running NetPresenz on the OS 8/9 servers, and something like CyberDuck on the OS X machine.

What about 10.1 on the PM9600? I know that OSX version is considered immature, but would it be good enough to run as a server?
I donno much about Puma, other than Apple naming it after my cat. It might work. IMO, why bother - just use NetPresenz. It's good for OS X users to know how to use FTP anyway...
