Stock netatalk from apt-get is likely to have DDP support disabled, and
perhaps is new enough not to support it at all. Ivan's netatalk appliance
is definitely setup properly to speak DDP over ethernet - no IP
configuration required on the client side.
At the very least I want EtherTalk. MacTCP would be
nice just to talk ftp,
telnet, or maybe ssh. I'm not terribly interested in running web browsers
(that's where the previous thread derailed).
The 'a2server' definitely speaks ethertalk.
I'm sure what I'm doing with netatalk.
a2server seems to have its netatalk
settings hidden somewhere nonstandard. I'm not sure if I have the main
server's netatalk configured right.
I use a somewhat hacked netatalk package on a Seagate "plug" computer, but
I've installed Ivan's appliance and played with it a bit. From what I
remember the default configuration is functional out of the box. You may
want to drop Ivan a note? He's a very nice guy and will probably have
good suggestions for troubleshooting.
