netatalk+asun (so it does AFP over IP) is actually kina nifty -- a very 
odd mix of unix and Mac sensibilities (for example; it has text 
configuration files, but will change what you have typed if what you 
have typed is wrong). There are some issues with aliases, directory IDs, 
etc. but so far it has worked fine for me and my MP3 collection. It even 
allows me to print from the Suns to a AppleTalk PS printer.

On Solaris it won't route AppleTalk, but that is rarely an issue for 
people.

Like some open source projects, the documentation can be a bit vauge but 
it is figurable.
