Aaron,

We're using NT's built in Macintosh services.  Our Mac clients
communicate with the server using Appletalk over ethernet.  The
server shows up in the chooser and can be mounted using the Mac's
built-in client software.  You can also use Microsoft's client
software, which uses password encryption for greater security.

As a sidenote... Our lab networking is handled primarily by Netware
servers.  However, we've found that NT's services for Macintosh
perform much better than Netware for Macintosh, and in many cases,
even better than Appleshare servers.  We are currently using our NT
box as a RevRDist server with much better results than when we were
using Netware.  The new Netware client for Macintosh, however, is
looking pretty slick.  It uses IPX instead of Appletalk and it's NDS
enabled.
