I've tried to setup netatalk under Kubuntu and have gone only as far
as Tony had.  My Mac sees the Linux box, the IIgs sees the Mac, but
the IIgs doesn't see the Linux box.  My LocalTalk-Ethernet bridge is a
Sonic Systems bridge (for the IIgs side).  Mac and Linux box use
standard RJ-45 Ethernet.

I've read somewhere that the Linux kernel (or some part) does not
support AppleTalk Phase 1 anymore, and doesn't the IIgs require Phase
1?
