True, but we don't want to lose that little tidbit of information either.

10.7 at work is the server version. running on 2011 mac mini. No way to test it now though, someone hit the BIN button on eBay late last night. So the 180 is in a medium flat rate box on its way to Illinois I did try reverse 10.5 server to 7.6.1 *early* this morning. that was a no go... forgot about trying 10.8 in legacy mode in all my running around this morning. sorry.

How modern? MacOS X 10.4 (or was it 10.5?) and later dropped Appletalk support for file sharing. SMB/CIFS is the preferred method nowadays. A2SERVER has Samba installed for that reason.
OS 9 and older should work with A2SERVER without a problem.

Modern as in 10.7/10.8, I tried connecting to a2server with smb, that doesn't work either. I'm down to just my plus with OS 6.0.8 and a dayna etherprint-T...
