AppleTalk does, indeed, go over TCP/IP, provided the Mac in question has 
a TCP/IP stack ;) And yes, with MacOS classic TCP/IP was optional for 
certain older releases - certianly Mac0S 8.<mumble> and higher includes 
it out of the box.  If this was MacOS X you could just use it's native 
SMB support ;)

I think you're thinking of EtherTalk.
