Continue to use a computer started up from Mac OS 9.1 or earlier if you require the use of an Apple-branded networking and server product designed for use with Mac OS 9.1 or earlier. A forthcoming version of Mac OS X Server integrates services for file sharing, Internet and web serving, networking, client management, email, and more. Please see:

To use AppleShare IP with Mac OS 9.1, you must update to version 6.3.3. Mac OS 9.1 does not work with the Classic environment of Mac OS X Public Beta. For related information, see:
