Netatalk is now working in MkLinuxDR3:

I used
netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.0a18.2-oa1a
instead of
netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.1-2
--> What does the oa1a mean?
Whatever, it did the trick for me.

Now I get:
nbplkup
                         iev140:AFPServer
65280.143:128
                         iev140:netatalk 65280.143:4
                         iev140:Workstation 65280.143:4
                         iev013:AFPServer 65280.5:249
                         iev013:ARA - Client-Only 65280.5:2
                         iev013:PPCToolBox 65280.5:251
                         iev013: Power Macintosh 65280.5:252
                         iev013:Workstation 65280.5:4
                 microLaser Pro:LaserWriter
65280.233:128
As Mac, the Performa is "iev013", as
linuxPPC box the Performa is "iev014".

With
/etc/printcap
lp|microLaser Pro:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lp:\
        :lp=/dev/atalk/lp:\
        :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
        :if=/usr/lib/atalk/filters/ifpap:\
        :mx#0:sh:sf:
I can print onto the TI microLaser at the neighbouring Mac.

Before, I had to re-establish all the broken links in
/usr/lib/atalk/filters/* to /usr/sbin/psf.

To my great surprise, even ASCII printing
works with only some 22 characters falling
off the left-hand-side of the page (Any
help here ?)

On the linuxPPC box, things are more difficult.
In addition, I have to
insmod /lib/modules/2.2.1/misc/appletalk.o
atalkd

There is still a lot of fine tuning to do.

Why does my MkLinux AppleTalk server have
the number 65280.143, i.e. $FF00/8F ?
I never gave it a number !

Further hints still welcome.

Greetings
Heinz
