My group is responsible for a rather heterogeneous collection of Sun 3 and
Sun 4s, Silicon Graphics, and Macintosh workstations. Some recent arrivals
have requested that we also support IBM-compatible PCs. We would like to
provide the following to these users:

	file service
	printer sharing
	electronic mail
	Usenet News

Our existing systems communicate quite happily (more or less) using TCP/IP, NFS
based fileservers, and PhoneNet and Cayman Gator boxes for the AppleTalk 
connection. We're using PC-NFS to give Telnet and FTP service to the 
current PCs and we're told that we're just a demon or two away from providing
some (all?) of the above.

Can anyone provide some first-hand experience on whether this is a reasonable
path to pursue? Please reply via e-mail and I'll summarize the responses.

Thanks,

Dennis
