We've got a bunch of suns here for the developers, and we're planning
to get a few macs for the office people. I figure the easiest way to
network the macs is to get an ethernet card for each mac. I have
several questions that those who have been there can probably help
with.
1. I know the macs can talk both appletalk and tcp-ip over the
ethernet. Can they do both at the same time?
2. When I buy an ethernet card, does the right system software come
with it? For both appletalk and tcp-ip?
3. I've heard NFS is available for the mac. Is it from apple or how
does one get it? Can the mac be client, server, or both? How is
security handled?
4. Email. This is important. What mail package is available on the mac
that can talk to the suns. Are there any that speak SMTP?
Thanks a lot for any info.

Are there any that speak SMTP? StarNine Technologies in Berkeley, CA markets an SMTP gateway for QuickMail. The product is called Mail*Link, and is available from StarNine at (415) 548-0391. They may also make a gateway for other e-Mail packages, but I don't have info. about these (if they exist).
