samba - Jan 2000 - Samba device that integrates Pc and Apple Networks

I remember a while back seeing someone mention a device that would integrate
an apple with a pcnetwork.
basically it was a small box that had a samba server built in.  you would
connect your mac to it with the
other side connecting to the hub of a pcnetwork.  It would intern allow
Apple shares to be viewed in network
neighborhood, and macs to mount pc shares./ does this ring a bell with
anyone.

I'm aware of that, but I have a client that wants a litttle device not
necesserily a new PC.
I though there was one available, prebuilt and configured. something that
functions like a dongle

Run Samba on your linux box for the PC clients, and run netatalk for the
Macs.

Compile samba with --with-netatalk support, and then share the same
directory tree with both packages.
