First of all,I would like to apologize for sending out an empty article
with similar header as this one by accident. I tried to cancel it but was
given the message: "You can't cancel someone else's article".

Anyway, my problem is the following:

Recently we bought a DECstation 5000/200. I want to network it with several
Mac's and probably a few PC's too, if possible. Currently the Mac's and
the PC's are connected to a LaserWriter II by AppleTalk. The primary goal
for the new network is to have a printer for the workstation and also I
would like to be able use the Mac's as terminals for the DEC. I know there
are many possible ways to do this,with different levels of capabilities
Can someone out there explain to me some of the possible solutions and
roughly their costs? I myself do not know anything about networking (virtually)
So any help I could get would be valuable and will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
