Helios EtherShare; Xinet KA-Share; and netatalk.  I know that the first
two (commercial) are being used in conjunction with SAM-FS; not sure if
anyone's tried netatalk with it.

If you're using SAM-FS, use "partial release" on the files containing
the file metadata.  This ensures that the file type/creator information
is available to the AppleTalk server without having to bring the file
in from tape.  (Simplest is just to set partial-release on all files,
actually, and leave 16K or so of each file on disk.)
