Hello,

This is what I got back from PC MacLan. They said that the reason why PC
MacLan doesn't work with netatalk is because case sensitive problem. In
Man, all directories/files are treat as non-case sensitive. For Mac, "This
is a long file name" = "THIS IS A LONG FILE NAME", which it is different
than in UNIX.

So is there anyway that you can modify the netatalk source code and avoid
this problem? Because the only solution that we find for Windoze platform
is to use PC MacLan software, and UNIX AppleTalk server gets better
performance than Mac AppleTalk server.

Best Regards,

Alex Yu
