In an office of a number of people, the Cayman Gator box is an Ideal
solution.  It is an appletalk-ethernet NFS router.  It also supports
telnet and printing from the Unix system to an Apple laserwriter.
(Postscript or plain text)  It allows you to set up 'tunnels form your
appletalk through etihernet to another Gatorbox somewhere else.  In my
case I can "choose" a printer in Ft. Lauderdale, Houston Dallas or Boston
from my location in Washington D.C.  They cost about $2000 so you do
need several users to make in cost effective.  A mounted Unix file system
simply appears as a disk Icon on my desktop.  I have 5 Mac Pluses and Se
in my office.  It is easy to adminster
