This must mean that you have netatalk running over TCP/IP! I've hunted 
everywhere (and the docs aren't great) to find myself how to do this, to 
no avail.

I'm running the standard netatalk-umich-19990130nb2 pkg. Do I need the 
'modified' one?

Or perhaps there is an option in afpd.conf (which I do not have).

Thanks, all the best.
