I am trying to get a 10BASE-T network set up for a small non-profit which
can allow DOS and OS/2 and MAC pc's to share printers & files on a server
(preferably UNIX based), and to have a SLIP or PPP link to a university site
so that students and faculty can have access to the university network and
the internet.  I suppose the SLIP could be across a fast modem link, but
maybe ISDN will be able to handle it eventually(?).  The number of pc's
is small (5-10) so it must be a reasonably low-cost solution.

Has anyone done such a network? Can you recommend any source (vendors,
consultants, etc.) who would do it without blinking? Does anyone have real
experience with DEC's Pathworks or other Lan Manager versions (NCR), in
particular the MAC services?

NOTICE:  I WORK FOR NCR....Potential Bias....

The NCR version of Lan Manager inherited from AT&T, MAC services and serving,
including file and print services.  Prior to the AT&T / NCR merger, I worked 
with this product at AT&T and saw it perform.  Hence, I would conclude that
NCR has what you want, and it does work.

For any more details, please contact NCR privately.  (I hope I didn't slide
too deep into a sales pitch... :-))
