No no -- you can do AppleShare over TCP/IP on a little LAN
consisting of one switch not connected to the Internet at all. This is
what you'd do with file sharing in OSX, in OS9 if you've turned on the
Shareway AppleShare IP, or you could do it via netatalk on a *nix machine,
or you could do this to connect to a Mac running AppleShare IP.
