These files come with netatalk, a package from the University of Michigan. It
includes kernel patches and source for daemons that implement various AppleTalk
services. The kernel patches would be a good candidate for standard inclusion
in Linux kernel 1.3.x, but I have no idea if anyone plans to do so. You can
find more info at:
ftp://terminator.rs.itd.umich.edu/unix/netatalk/
There's source code there and information about other related stuff, including
a netatalk mailing list.
