Not to discourage you, but you might be underestimating just how long this
will take. Also, win2k's appletalk may not be up to the task... there were
issues even getting it to talk to older macs like your se30. Linux might be
a better choice (never tried nt4, but can't imagine it being any better),
but I'll be darned if the I'm not having trouble with the apple2 patch, I
don't think it likes netatalk 1.5 pre6.  Then again, 1.4b2 didn't much care
for it either.

In any event, though... good luck.
