You may find adding AppleTalk support to be useful, altho I don't know
how you would mount such a share.

Here's some info on AppleTalk from the Linux kernel source
documentation - it seems to have a couple of useful links:

-----
AppleTalk protocol support
CONFIG_ATALK
  AppleTalk is the way Apple computers speak to each other on a
  network. If your Linux box is connected to such a network and you
  want to join the conversation, say Y. You will need to use the
  netatalk package so that your Linux box can act as a print and file
  server for Macs as well as access AppleTalk printers. Check out
  http://threepio.hitchcock.org/cgi-bin/faq/netatalk/faq.pl on the WWW
  for details. EtherTalk is the name used for AppleTalk over Ethernet
  and the cheaper and slower LocalTalk is AppleTalk over a proprietary
  Apple network using serial links. EtherTalk and LocalTalk are fully
  supported by Linux.

  General information about how to connect Linux, Windows machines and
  Macs is on the WWW at http://www.eats.com/linux_mac_win.html . The
  NET-3-HOWTO, available from
  http://www.linuxdoc.org/docs.html#howto , contains valuable
  information as well.

You can also mount an Apple Macintosh (HFS) formatted filesystem with:
"mount -t hfs ..." provided you have kernel support for it.


Hope this helps.
