If your Linux box is connected to such a network and you 11*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann wish to connect to it, say Y. You will need to use the netatalk package 12*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann so that your Linux box can act as a print and file server for Macs as 13*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann well as access AppleTalk printers. Check out 14*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann <http://www.zettabyte.net/netatalk/> on the WWW for details. 15*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann EtherTalk is the name used for AppleTalk over Ethernet and the 16*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann cheaper and slower LocalTalk is AppleTalk over a proprietary Apple 17*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann network using serial links. EtherTalk and LocalTalk are fully 18*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann supported by Linux. 19*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann 20*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and 21*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann Macs is on the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>. The 22*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann NET3-4-HOWTO, available from 23*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, contains valuable 24*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann information as well. 25*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann 26*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be 27*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann called appletalk. You almost certainly want to compile it as a 28*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann module so you can restart your AppleTalk stack without rebooting 29*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann your machine. I hear that the GNU boycott of Apple is over, so 30*1dab4713SArnd Bergmann even politically correct people are allowed to say Y here. 31
