You might try (if still their address)

I understand they make an app called NFS Share (or similar) that runs on a Mac. 
The NeXT would need to run /usr/etc/rpc.pcnfsd.  Macs can mount NeXT exported
directories through the chooser, similar to AppleShare client software. 
However, last I saw it would not allow printing from the NeXT machine, but
there was a rumour that this may change.

I don't work for InterCon, just saw this product once.
