If I mount an NFS volume on my mac, can I the publish it with Tops so that all
my machines running Tops can use it ?

I have mounted an AppleShare volume from a Vax (Alisa) on my Mac and
then republished it using TOPS. Worked fine. Speed was tolerable even
though all of this was done on the LocalTalk side of a FastPath. Also have
published a CD-ROM from Mac using TOPS and accessed it from a PC.

You'll probably get away with republishing an NFS volume.

You can definately publish NFS mounted filesystems as TOPS volumes from Suns
running TOPS/SUN. You can't go the other way because TOPS/SUN does not support
CLIENT Tops.
