JDW,
The software I'm running on the PowerBook G3 is called Rumpus. It requires a PPC Mac to run. As far as I understand, even version 1.0 of this software required a PPC. The company Maxum made Mac FTP server software initially for Apple's AppleShare server software in the late 90's since Apple had no FTP solution. Maxum then made the software available as a stand alone product. Maxum still makes Rumpus today for OS X. They still have a link up on there site for version 3.5.6, the last version to run on the Classic Mac OS.

You can bridge LocalTalk to Ethernet in a few different ways, but the last flavor of OS X to be able to use older, "pure" AppleTalk for file sharing would be 10.2. IIRC, 10.3 could "see" legacy AppleTalk servers, but the subsequent connection had to be over TCP/IP (requiring laster versions of AFP that could do TCP/IP). 10.4 and 10.5 had AppleTalk for printers only. Many, many people get AppleShare (AFP) and AppleTalk confused, so no doubt some of our fellow forum members will debate this.
