I'd be very surprised if you found any non-Apple servers supporting AppleTalk. Also you should be aware that apart from ease of installation, SQL*Net AppleTalk does have a couple of disadvantages compared to TCP/IP. We encountered reproducible 10 second delays, when executing long SQL commands, these were never explained by Oracle. You can also run into a severe performance penalty on some 10 base T networks with intelligent hubs.
