Hi All,
I am trying to connect my wife's mac to my NeXT so she can print on my  
printer.
Anyone out there do this? What hardware do I need?
I will post a summary if there is enough intrest.

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.
