I would recommend the NetATalk route first. It's cheap, and it works, if you 
can get your head round the setup. I've had it running before quite 
satisfactorily on  previous Mandrake and Red Hat setups, ages ago. There's 
also a WebMin module for NetATalk too. Having trumpeted it loudly, I must 
admit I never got round to setting up printer serving, but the procedure for 
doing so didn't seem overly incomprehensible, so I should've given it a go. I 
only really wanted file serving, so I left it at that. Currently I don't have 
any OS 9 machines (other than a knackered Duo 230 that barely works and can 
only connect through Localtalk, so that doesn't count). I'm only running 
Jagwire these days on my iBook.
