Just to nail it down, this is correct: AppleTalk is not supported in OT on Mac OS X (unless of course, you are running in Classic).

Source for AppleTalk libraries and commands used in Mac OS X is available at the Darwin site (to see how to deal with AppleTalk programmatically).

Just to be pedantic, actually a good portion of OT/AppleTalk *is* supported
on OS X as long as you're a Carbon app. Little-used protocols like
ADSP aren't supported and there are a few subtleties to be sure, but I
can report that if you're crazy enough, you can still be a friend of AppleTalk. :-)

Well, yeah, if you want to be pedantic :-}.

In fact, I have just had my recall recalled and updated: DDP, ZIP and NBP are supported in Mac OS X's OT implementation (for browsing and registration, if nothing else). So, Michael is correct: Some portion of AppleTalk is supported, and if poking yourself with a sharp stick is fun for you, working with AppleTalk, in this way, will be as well.

Regards,

Justin
