Aha, AFP (AppleTalk Filing Protocol -- used by AppleShare) vs. non AFP (ATP or
ADSP) makes sense now.

PUBLIC FOLDER does *not* implement AFP.  That is, PUBLIC FOLDER does not
provide you with an AppleShare compatable server.  It does not let you mount
a volume like AppleShare or TOPS.  It does let you copy a file from another
mac.  I guess it's like FTP or DECNET COPY.
