GS+AFP Unix server

[philip@utstat.toronto.edu (Philip McDunnough)]

I have several mac's and a GS connected via Localtalk to a ci which is
running Apple's Internet Router and is Ethertalked to a NeXT Cube which is
running IPT's uShare AFP server, as a task. 
 
I can mount the NeXT volume on the GS desktop, move files back and forth and
print to the NeXT printer without any problems.[ Same with a 486 which is also
on Localtalk.].
 
There seems to be 2 problems though, also shared by the PC, but not by the 
Mac's.
 
(1) Moving a GS file to the server causes it to lose it file type and
creator (this is not the case with Mac files from a Mac).
 
(2) Logging off the server (either by dragging the volume to the garbage can
    or OA-Y) hangs the GS. This problem also occurs with the PC using Windows'
    based software (specifically Copstalk and Farallon's sw).
 
The file type/creator issue seems to be similar to one that happens with CAP.
Does anyone have a fix for this (Todd?)? The logging off problem is different
though. Could this be a funtion of the Internet Software router that I am 
using (may not be the most recent). Any clues would be much appreciated. The
speed with which one can print to the NeXT laser 
is impressive using uShare/uPrint, but the logging off issue is really
a pain. On the PC it completely hangs the system to the point of requiring a
hard reset.
