Probably You have appletalk support as a module. Try 'insmod netatalk' (or
appletalk - check module name, i don't remember) and next 'atalk start'.
Remember - 'atalk stop' remove module. You may fix scripts or compile
appletalk support in kernel.

Netatalk make possible to see Linux files from Mac side only. You need afpfs
for opposite way, but that project seems to be leaving. I was compile it,
but I have failed to run it - I think, some fixes in kernel sources are
needed.

No. You need netatalk on Linux side :)
Good news (I think;)): AppleTalk (EtherTalk) and file sharing in MOL works
fine without TCP/IP (my box is PM 5400/180 with System 8.1).
