You need a LocalTalk interface card for the Linux box to use this
method and you also have to get one of the patched/fixed versions of
netatalk to do file sharing with a IIgs.

You can also use the serial ports and use Marinetti on the IIgs to do
a TCP/IP connection to the Linux box.  Unfortunately, there is no file
sharing software for this method but you can do other things with this
method at present.
