[olug] AppleTalk ports

[Craig Wolf]

I will be out there this afternoon and I will report back what I find.  I had not opened any UDP ports, must have missed that in my reading/searching.  Thanx to all who have assisted/given ideas to try.  I will update my Linux server's firewall to open said ports and see what works. 

Thanx!

AppleTalk over TCP/IP _is_ EtherTalk, IIRC.  Just like it's LocalTalk 
over a serial line, and TokenTalk over token ring.
