I believe it's also the only application in existance for Linux... at
least among freely-available software packages.

Yes, now to help out the person who started this thread (whose name is
long since lost), you might try grabbing a copy of the BasiliskII emulator
and giving it a shot. It will patch into the Windows network stack,
allowing the Mac running inside the emulator to access the network. I've
had limited success using this to backup using NCU for Mac.
There should be links and info for BasiliskII in the list archives, I'm
sure it's come up before.
