"netatalk" is a kernal patch to add AppleTalk for file sharing and print
spooling. From user standpoint, no real difference from CAP. From
programmer and sysadmin view, CAP config is more "Inside AppleTalk", while
netatalk is "TCP/IP Illustrated".

"netatalk" currently runs on Linux and several Sys V and BSD systems, but
hasn't seen a NetBSD port, according to the main web page.
