An instructor here has a small lab with 4 Amiga 500's, 1 Amiga 2000,
and 1 Macintosh IIcx.  She would like to network them together -- but
would be happy if just the 2000 could "talk" to the Macintosh.  The
mail goal would be to move images from one machine to the other with
the goal of getting them printed on one of the color printers in
computing or engineering.  

- At first blush, "ethernet" seems to be a nice way to go.  If the
2000 could get an Ethernet card, it could talk to the Mac -- and the
rest of campus.  Are there reasonably priced ethernet cards for the
2000 -- and do they come with the appropriate software (FTP certainly
needed, Telnet very helpful.)

- Scanning back news items, I noticed some mention of Appletalk for
Amiga?  Is that a reasonable idea ?

- If that fails, are there ways to read / write Amiga disks on the
Mac (e.g. via a translator in Apple file exchange) ?

Thanks
Steve
