I am trying to get afp working with AppleIIGS system 6.0.x. using AFPBridge. 
This works fine with Netatalk 2, but has issues connecting with Netatalk 3.  It
needs to use randnum exchange which is enabled in the buster version of
netatalk 3.  Stretch and 
earlier worked.  Time capsule support isn't needed.  I am retro - Apple2 4ever.
