I'd recommend Netatalk.  It's free and (with FreeBSD 2.2.1) even
part of the system.  If only I had come around setting it up since
I upgraded my server to 2.2.1...
Anyway, on my DECstation with Ultrix 4.2a and a Sun-clone at work
Netatalk works just fine.  It allows you to export some directories
as Apple-filesharing volumes and use an AppleTalk printer from Unix.
Exporting a TCP-printer as an AppleTalk device is possible, too.

The major missing service is mounting an AppleShare volume on a Unix
machine.

Greetings,
