I have a MACII with ethertalk and the NCA telenet software and I am interested in file sharing (ala NFS). I have been told that TOPS allows the suns to be a file server and the MAC disk to be accessable to the sun net. Is this an accurate description? Can I run NCA telenet while TOPS is running? The goal is to NOT buy more apple disks but use the sun's disks thereby relieving me of backing up to floppies. Thanks for any information.

Yes, Mark, TOPS will indeed allow you to use the Sun as a remote file server for the Macintosh. You can mount a folder via TOPS and still use the network for other applications such as Telnet or printing to your LaserWriter. It works very nicely. --Barry Kort

I am running Mac II A/UX, and would like to use it as a file server for the 20+ Mac-SEs that we have. Does anyone know of any current, off-the-shelf software that I can use to make it a NFS/TOPS/appleshare server? I know about the IPT stuff (ushare) - but its not ready yet. We are already running telnet/fastpath. Bruce Beare Voysys Corporation ..!pyramid!ctnews!voysys!bruce (408) 737-2300
