That would be either Columbia AppleTalk Package, or netatalk, which are
Appletalk printer and file service for Unix boxes; basically they set up
the unix box as an appletalk server.

See:

http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/netatalk/

for netatalk

or

http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/appletalk/cap.html

for the CAP package.

Note: CAP supports ASIP, for those folks running IP only networks.
