It sounds like you need the ARNS package for Unix.  To quote from the
README file that comes with the package:

-ARNS is 'A Remote Network Server' package for AppleTalk that allows a
-remote client to participate in local network services such as printing
-and file sharing.  The ARNS server runs on a UNIX host that is connected
-to an EtherTalk network.  Connectivity between a client and server may be
-provided by a variety of transport systems.  This version of ARNS supports
-UDP/IP datagrams and TCP/IP streams.
- 
- 
-ARNS client nodes (which may be anywhere on the IP connected Internet) can
-be any of the following:
- 
-        * A Macintosh with EtherNet card, MacTCP 1.1 and IPRemote AT adev.
- 
-        * A Macintosh with Async AppleTalk adev 2.0 connected to a serial
-        port on a UNIX machine running the 'async' program.
- 
-        * A UNIX host running CAP with a modified delivery mechanism (capd).
 

If you set up ARNS on your unix host, you don't need ARA - you can
use Async Appletalk, which is supplied with ARNS.  I don't use it regularly
but I have experimented with it and it seems to work well.

The arns distribution is on munnari.oz.au, in the /multigate directory.

Hope this helps.
