To get Samba on a Classic OS seems to need 3rd party non-free
software.  However, netatalk can be run on Linux/BSD so if you can
get the two Macs to talk you should be able to set something up on the
Linux server to get files through it.  Macs can do AppleTalk as
either LocalTalk (serial ports) or EtherTalk (ethernet) and also
AppleTalk IP.  You'll need to set the 8.1 machine up for AppleTalk
over ethernet.&nbsp; <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/2/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Leo Mauler</b> &lt;<a href="mailto:webgiant@yahoo.com">webgiant@yahoo.com</a>&gt; wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
