Very little, unless you have a lot of old machines, since Appletalk runs
natively over TCP/IP since at least OS 8.6, maybe as early as 8.0.
We turned off Appletalk a few years back across our campus with few
noticeable problems, primarily with old network printer devices.
If need be you can always use ShareWay IP from Open Door
