We have a mixed bunch of computers in the section where I work including Iris 4D80GT Iris 4D35 various 286/386 IBM clones various Mac II's Currently the ones that require it are on a thick wire ethernet and we use telnet and ftp to move files around. We would like to share printers between these computers and maybe cross mount files, though this is not as important. I interested in responses from people who have successfully gotten SGI machines communicating with IBM clones and Mac's and sharing printers. What software have you used, was it easy or complicated to set up, does it work, is it transparent to the user? Some of our people who would be printing would be very unhappy if the system required complicated machinations to print a file from any of the above machines. Please email me directly, and I can summarize if there is enough interest and/or enough response.
