First the caveat: I don't had DataClub, but I have seen a demo and have a
brochure called "DataClub Technical Overview".

Since DataClub is a "virtual AppleShare" server, it (they :-) is accessed
through the Chooser and AppleShare.  The DataClub software would be resident
only on any Macs that provide part of their disk space to the virtual
server.

At least that is how I think it works.
