Ok you LocalTalk/Ethertalk/Ethernet gurus: A Question...

Now that there are Ethernet cards for the SE and the II why is a Kinetics Box
(or like boxes) necessary? Will there be a version of AUFS/CAP stuff that does
not require a box between my Mac II w/EtherTalk and my Hp Unix box on the
ethernet? If not, WHY NOT?

And just where might NFS fit into this scheme? I know TOPS is working on 
incorporating this into TOPS to some degree. However, the cost has to be 
reasonable, as I am the only Mac II user in my lab, and we are not about to 
spend big bucks for just one user.

I can already have multiple sessions with my Unix box courtesy of NCSA TELNET,
but it would be great to be able to mount the file system and store some of
my files on Un*x. Yes, I know I will be able to do that sort of thing if I
buy AUX and another disk drive--but I want to do it without AUX and under the
MAC OS.

Take it away gurus......
