@@ -3,7 +3,11 @@ A fork of the Netatalk 2.2 codebase which takes in post-2.2.6 downstream patches
 
 The primary focus of this fork is to have a version of Netatalk 2.2.x that runs well on modern Open-Source systems, in particular Debian Linux and NetBSD.
 
-As of Netatalk 3.0, support for Apple's legacy AppleTalk (DDP) protocol was dropped. AppleTalk is required for Macs running System 6.0 through Mac OS 7.6, as well as supported Apple II systems, to be able to connect to a Netatalk AppleShare out of the box. Additionally, AppleTalk support brings the convenience of auto-detection of available shares on a network, as well as the ability to netboot an Apple II. Hence, the demand among the vintage Apple community to keep maintaining the Netatalk 2.2 codebase.

AppleTalk is required for Macs running System 6.0 through Mac OS 7.6, as well as supported Apple II systems, to be able to connect to an AppleShare server out of the box. Additionally, AppleTalk support brings the convenience of a printer server (papd) which can act as a two-way bridge for using modern printers on old Macs, and vice versa, as well as a time server (timelord,) plus an Apple II netboot server (a2boot.)
+
+At the same time, the ability of Netatalk 2.2 to understand both AppleTalk (DDP) and TCP/IP (DSI) allows it to serve as a bridge between very old Apple II and Mac systems, and modern macOS and other systems that understand AFP.
