Does anyone know of any PD or under $400 packages that allow my Mac-2 with an
ethernet card (Kinetics) to share files on my Sun and also being able to spool
files to my Sun LaserWriter (i.e. I still want the LaserWriter still to be
control by my Sun) ?  My Sun (Sparc) is running SunOS 4.0.1.  Also, I still
want to be able to continue to use Transcript 2.[01] on my Sun since I'm
pretty much dependent on it for my (& others in the lab) day-to-day work.

I've heard of K-Spool & uShare -- both runs as daemons on the Suns but they're
far too expensive -- ranging from $600~$700 to $1000, I mean this is
ridiculous since I can get my Mac EtherTalk card for around $400 and I'm just
hooking 1 Mac-2 to the local ethernet.  The folks at Columbia & Stanford
apparently have written the drivers & the printer/file sharing packages for
the Kinetics FastPath but that they need a FastPath box or the equivalent
gateway/bridge box and this kind of boxes cost upwards of $3000 so it is out
of the question since I'm just talking about my 1 Mac-2.

I'll be interested to know of if others have similiar situations and what had
been done about that.
