Could someone with experience networking Apple Macs and Sun workstations give me some idea of what the options are for connecting these systems. Our existing network consists of a Sun workstation acting as a server for a number of PC-DOS machines running PC-NFS. We've recently aquired a couple of Macs and it would be extremely useful to have them integrated into the existing network. Of particular interest is file access and remote printing. I'm somewhat familiar with a few solutions like the Cayman Gatorbox, KIP/CAP and the Kinetics Fastpath. Our budget restraints are fairly severe, so I'm interested in the cheapest solution possible. The Mac systems we're trying to network are a Mac SE and a Mac II. Any ideas would be appreciated.
