Appletalk via Ethernet is still too chatty, slow and has no ability to connect with anything other than other Macs doing Appletalk. Straight Ethernet is clearly superior. Even if in OS 9 you have to type in the other computer's IP address, it's better than Appletalk. You can connect to PCs, Macs, UNIX workstations, whatever has sharing turned on. With TCP/IP and SMB or DAVE, macs are much better network citizens. And if OS X is on the network, Appletalk slows things down. OS X only has Appletalk to support OS9 clients using it. And Appletalk is verboten on my employer's network for these very reasons.
