Can't help with the NT side but Redhat needs the module loaded and
maybe some other configuration. If you are using the default distribution
check the /lib/modules/2.2.5-15 for the Appletalk module then 'insmod
modulename'. If you recompiled the kernel, make sure you included it
under the network configurations.
