So, what you want to do is:
- mount, on a machine running atalk, a volume from a remote afp server
running MacOS?
If yes, netatalk isn't the package for you - it allows you to share a
directory from the Linux box as though it were and appleshare volume. The
old netatalk home page - http://www.anders.com/projects/netatalk/ - may
help.
