[all this on a Qube2, but I guess it's very much similar !]
If I remember, there is a "select IP address for server" button at the
bottom-right of the chooser window [macOS above 8 I think].
Click it, enter IP or host name for server and it will show a list of
all volumes you have a right to on your server. There is a checkbox to
tell your Mac to reconnect to those volumes each time it boots up.

No need to run Appletalk for this

You must have rights to the said volume in order for it to show up. In
my opinion , the downside is that MacOS/atalk creates a bunch of folders
(.AppleDouble, .AppleDesktop, and more) in the existing folder in
order to keep track of the data and ressource fork of the Mac files.
FTP does not do that. (here we keep that for site development servers,
but we FTP everything to production servers).

Hope I answered your question.
