If you are connected to an ethernet network, eth0 is the correct
device (otherwise you'll have to use tap0).
It is possible to run AppleTalk on eth0 and tap0 simultaneously
(with netatalk functioning as a bridge), but this requires
configuration of net ranges etc.
Note that it necessary to recompile the tap device with multicast
support (a #define in the source) in order to run AppleTalk
on it.
Good Luck,
