No disrespect intended to rubywand, but the FAQ doesn't really cover the
whole inter-platform networking topic very well.  I keep reading that some
things are impossible (like reading an HFS disk on the PC) when I've used
software that does exactly that.  This is an area where the FAQ is no
substitute for talking to real, live, human beings who are familiar with the
stuff and know what they're doing.

I apologized when I found a section in the FAQ on AppleTalk, but now that
I've read it I really don't think it answered most of my questions.  I
*know* that theoretically the networking setup I mentioned can be done.
What I want to know is how well these things *really* work--I want war
stories from people who have tried some of these implementations and had
success (and especially from those who have gotten burned).

FTR-I was buying those books, reading those books, and correcting the errors
in those books back when this newsgroup was still "comp.sys.apple."
