OK, it's slower. Bugger. Next topic.
For those of you who are reasonably new to the Mac platform, I can
tell you from experience:
System 1.1 was faster than System 4.2
System 6.0.7 was MUCH faster than System 7
System 7.6.1 was MUCH faster than Mac OS 8.
I went back and forward between System 6.0.5 and System 7 SEVERAL
times on my SE/30 back in 1991. System 6.0.5 was a ROCKET on the
SE/30, System 7 was a DOG!
Today, we don't run 6.0.5, we got over it, we accepted 7, it turned
out better after 7.1, we moved on.
Think about it.

BTW, netatalk 1.4b2+asun 214 -37b works very well with Mac OS X as
long as you add the DEFS= -DFLOCKS thingy to the sys/Linux/Makefile
before you compile. I haven't tried 1.5. You can only connect via IP
(great!) and transferring files large and small has worked for me
since 4K46
