In this vein, I just tried using PSN (Personal Server Network) from PT, Inc.
(This is the program that lets the Mac run a a non-dedicated AFP Server) and
I got the message "The Server you want uses an incompatible version of AFP,
You cannot connect to it" when I tried to log on from the AppleShare CDEV in
the Control Panel.  The PSN Server Shows up and you can select it, but when
you click OK you get the message above.  I have a call in to IPT to see if 
there is a fix.  The packing slip says that it is version 1.3 of the pro-
gram.

It is entirely possible that I'm doing something wrong. After I talk to their 
tech support I'll post a followup message.
