I use FTP Software's PC/TCP on the PC with a 3c503 ethernet card. I can: - Telnet/FTP to the NeXT - Backup the PC to the NeXT's optical using PC/TCP's rexec/tar - Mount next disks using PC/TCP's NFS. The mounts just show up as additional DOS disks. Note that NFS is alot slower than a local disk, even over ethernet. Paul Verket (NeXTmail ok)
