He needs to install Services for Macintosh on his Win2k server.
That is the Appletalk server software and he will need a
Mac to connect via ethernet to his server. He might be
able to locate an archaic Appletalk card or a Tandylink
card that would give him an Appletalk port on his
PC but that would require an ISA slot and not a PCI slot.
Then it might work as an Appletalk server without the
need of a Mac bridge.
