Really? That's interesting. ok, here's exactly what is going to
happen, not only will the LiNUX server serve the local network, but
Mac's will also come in via PPP. Will the atalk server on the Linux box
broadcast over ppp0? Or will I have to turn TCP/IP on on the Macs, and
mount the drive via NFS... Can I do that? Is this going to work?
Thanks Elliot, your help is greatly appriciated.
