IPT (Information Presentation Technologies) has a product called uShare which allows Unix boxes to act as AppleShare file servers. My understanding is that uShare speaks both EtherTalk and IP-Talk. To bridge to LocalTalk you need some sort of gateway (IPT makes them) or if you have a Sony NEWS workstaion they have a LocalTalk card that plugs into the workstation (Sony owns a piece of IPT, which is why the card is only available for the Sony workstations at this time). uShare does file service, print service, you can specify a virtual Mac disk (that can contain the Mac System software), and electronic mail. Of course you can use uShare to serve filesystems that have been NFS mounted to the uShare server. IPT P.O. Box 8609 Calabasas CA 91302 818 347-7791 AppleLink D0263 All this information is from an IPT brochure. We're getting a Sony workstion and uShare in a couple of weeks to evaluate as the main AppleShare server for a cluster of Mac IIs; I'll post our evaluation of uShare after we've beaten on it a while.
