If you want to hook your Mac up to Ethernet there are two ways to go:
o as has been mentioned, a Mac II running A/UX and equipped
with an Ethernet card becomes a fairly standard Unix
workstation: NFS, r{login,sh,cp,...}, Yellow Pages &c.
o alternatively, you could use an AppleTalk<->Ethernet
bridge box (Kinetics FastPath or some such) and networking
software (TOPS from Centram, for instance). The files
are transparently available on the two systems. The
advantage to this is that it works with any Mac, and
the Mac doesn't have to run Unix. I've seen a demo
involving Kinetics, TOPS, a Mac+, and a Sun-3/52; it
seemed to work.
