Ethernet and Appletalk under NS3.0

I have just submitted an order of a turbo slab.  I heard that
the 3.0 os allows one to communicate with an ethertalk (mac) network.
However, I need to be able to communicate with both an ethertalk network
and the Internet via TCPIP.  Is this possible?

Ideal would be to use the NeXT as a bridge between ethertalk and TCPIP.

Yes.  3.0 should allow your NeXT to be a client on an Appleshare
network, a client on a Novell network, and a server/client on a
TCPIP network (an NFS server or client, for instance) all
concurrently.

I wonder if you will be able to export a partition mounted from an
Appleshare server for other machines to mount via nfs...Doubtful,
since you would be exporting something that you are mounting.  What
should be possible would be some automated process to copy stuff from
/Apple to /export, where /Apple comes from an AppleShare server, and
/export is exported to the rest of the UNIX network.
