It's been a few years since I've played with it, but Sun shipped a version 
of Syntax Totalnet with the Solaris 2.6 server media kit (I think it was 
2.6).  Even though it requires a license key to use in an enterprise, you 
can run it in "demo" mode without supplying a key.  The "demo" restriction 
is you can only have 1 concurrent authenticated user connection, but it 
does appletalk, smb (cifs or whatever it's now called) and nitware 
protocols.  You can have multiple shares mapped fine using the 3 different 
protocols on different hosts provided all use the same username to 
authenticate.

No idea if it will work on solaris 7, it's a bit convoluted to setup but 
does the appletalk stuff quite well, handles all the resource fork crud 
etc.  Have a play and let us know if it does what you need, you can't argue 
with the price though!
