Not yet. I haven't had my IIgs set up recently, and I don't have a
convenient machine on which to run LocalTalk Bridge, since my SE/30
stopped working.
There is one significant problem: out of the box, Mac OS X only supports
acting as an AFP server over TCP/IP, not AppleTalk. There is a
"use_appletalk" property in NetInfo, under /config/AppleFileServer,
which is 0 by default. I haven't tested it yet to see whether you get
serving over AppleTalk simply by setting this property to 1.
