You mean AppleTalk over IP, I guess. At least, it's what I've heard.

No, I meant classic emulator vs. MacOS X.

I thought that you could mount AppleShare volumes in Classic.
Anyway, there are things that X does and things that Classic software
can do. You mention a scanner, I'm not sure you're right here, but
since I don't have a scanner nor X, I'm probably wrong. But let's
take another example. X does have serial drivers (like X has SCSI or
USB drivers on top of which comes the scanner software), but X
doesn't have a Newton dock software. Nevertheless, NCU works properly
in Classic.
