1 Appletalk protocol support
3 AppleTalk is the protocol that Apple computers can use to communicate on a
4 network. If your Linux box is connected to such a network and you wish to
5 connect to it, say Y. You will need to use the netatalk package so that your
6 Linux box can act as a print and file server for Macs as well as access
7 AppleTalk printers. Check out <http://www.zettabyte.net/netatalk/> on the WWW
8 for details. EtherTalk is the name used for AppleTalk over Ethernet and the
9 cheaper and slower LocalTalk is AppleTalk over a proprietary Apple network
10 using serial links. EtherTalk and LocalTalk are fully supported by Linux.
12 General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and Macs is on
13 the WWW at <http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html>. The NET3-4-HOWTO,
14 available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>, contains valuable
15 information as well.
