Re: [Afpfs-ng-devel] afpfs-ng and OS X

[Martin F. <mk...@st...>]

Looking forward for next release!

Just for curiosity some questions about this:

	Is the protocols used good?

	Is it open (can you find the specs somewhere)?

	How is the Microsoft alternative (broadcast services and alow to connec=
t  =

to them)?

	Is there any other alternatives working?

Keep it up
