Thursby now have a CIFS Client / Server called DAVE - see +http://www.thursby.com/ + +They test it against Windows 95, Windows NT and samba for +compatibility issues. At the time of writing, DAVE was at version +1.0.1. The 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 update is available as a free download from +the Thursby web site (the speed of finder copies has been greatly +enhanced, and there are bug-fixes included). + +Alternatives - There are two free implementations of AppleTalk for +several kinds of UNIX machnes, and several more commercial ones. +These products allow you to run file services and print services +natively to Macintosh users, with no additional support required on +the Macintosh. The two free omplementations are Netatalk, +http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk/, and CAP, +http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/appletalk/atalk.html.
