Netatalk 2 is EOL.

Netatalk 3 no longer supports AppleTalk. It's TCP/IP only.
System 7.1 supports AppleTalk only.
System 7.5.5 + Open Transport supports TCP/IP.
You can use Netatalk3 with System >= 7.5.5.

Very old Mac support neither DHX nor DHX2 uam.
You must set Clear Text Password uam.

Old Mac does not support Bonjour.
You must input IP address or DNS hostname by hand.
