No, it doesn't.  Macs on ethertalk can access aufs servers if you're
running a version of KIP that understands ethertalk, or if you're
using K-Star.  But the performance isn't nearly as good as it is for
Macs on localtalk.  Using fastpath-4s and K-Star makes things faster
but still not as fast as a localtalk connection.  Sigh.

AppleShare over ethertalk is *very* fast, though.
