You probably need to enable file sharing over IP on the OS 8 box and I'm not sure you 
can do that on 8.1. ShareWay is the commercial software that Apple finally purchased.

To connect to OS 7 using old fashioned AppleTalk over ethernet I use a terminal 
command which I have set up in an AppleScript. There may well be a GUI-way but it's 
not obvious. Perhaps just using the /at/ part in your command-K.

mkdir /Volumes/somename
mount_afp afp:/at/user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/volume /Volumes/somename

man mount_afp in a terminal session for more.
