Andrew, thanks.  The netatalk package was almost, what I needed.  Unfortunately
the current version (netatalk-1.3.3) has dropped support for Linux 1.2.X
kernels (and it's standard in the 1.3.X kernel :-(), so I still had to muck
around and get the kernel modules running.  Anyway, a late night on the
weekend and it is all going.

I've got the kernel modules that work on Linux 1.2.13 if anyone wants them.
(The rest of the package was just compile and install.)
