Steve, I don't think this applies, since:

-NCU never used TCP/IP over AppleTalk as a connection type, just bare
AppleTalk (aka EtherTalk, LocalTalk, etc)
-NCU uses a different AppleTalk service name from the file sharing service.

I think what Apple's saying is that they've broken straight
FileShare-over-AppleTalk compatibility with Classic.
