Mac OS X supports discovery of services via AppleTalk (though it's
turned off by default) and printing via AppleTalk. However it only
supports connecting to file servers via TCP/IP. So your server must be
supporting TCP/IP connections to allow an OS X box to connect. This is
a potential issue in Mac home networks, as OS X will only connect to an
OS9 system that has "allow clients to connect via TCP/IP" turned on in
the file sharing control panel. Since that service didn't exist prior
to Mac OS 9....
