I finally got a Asante appletalk bridge to play with, and I must say, this was very easy to get running. Thanks!

Slow as *(^(*, but it runs. I've been copying on of my 32meg HD images from my cffa3000 to the a2server for a very very long time now.

I've got the bridge plugged into a wireless bridge, and had no problems seeing and booting from the server.

Later,
