David Hornsby <djh@cs.mu.oz.au> and Mats Wikstr|m <gucmw@gd.du.se>
both pointed me to the ARNS package, available via FTP from 
munnari.oz.au as mac/arns.tar.Z.  Using the IPRemoteAT client
in conjunction with MacTCP/MacPPP, I can dial into my unix box 
and transparently access our appletalk network -- including our 
AUFS directories.  What's really nice about this solution is that
first, it's free (ARA is $199), second, since I have the MacTCP
connection, I am also transparently connected to the internet.

All the information you need comes with the ARNS distribution.

Naturally, because of the serial connection, it is somewhat slow.
Copying a 50k file from an AUFS directory to my local mac disk
took 60 seconds, about .9k bytes/sec.  That's not bad throughput
(the modem connection was 14.4k), considering how many layers 
are involved.
