Is there any way to let a Mac use a NeXT as a file server? If I get a NeXT I'd like to avoid buying a hard drive for the Mac. I'd consider any member of the Mac line and any third party product that enables me to do this. Jonathan Dubman

I, personally have had trouble with their products, but that should not reflect upon anything else since most people still like them. My problem was they would make claims that were no where near true to their product. Kinetics makes a fastpath bridge. It is signifacantly cheaper than Cayman, and the company is very very respectable. I have not used their product, but their claims as to what it can do are very reasonable. This is the path I would recomend. Michael Rutman Softmed All opinions are mine and no one elses. If they were someone elses, they would have used them themselves so I should not even need this disclaimer.
