Next message: Jeff Johnson: "[WinMac] network mapping tools"
Watch out: If you have any Mac files with dual forks, all hell will break
loose as you'll lose the Resource Forks.
If you use either Windows 2000 (which has native AFP 2.2 (AFP/IP) support); or
use MacServer IP or ExtremeZ-IP on top of NT4, then Mac files will be protected
in transit over the Internet.
The bonus is that ANY Mac (using the AppleShare 3.7 or higher Chooser
Extension) in San Francisco can send files directly to the NT/2000 Server in
Beijing from the Desktop, just as Macs in Beijing can send files to the ASIP
server in San Francisco. In both cases, the remote volumes will be right there
just as the local server volumes are.
Hope this helps!
