Neither have I yet succeeded in sharing files between the Mac's and the 
NeXT, but I have gotten the NeXT to print to the Mac Printer.  My
setup:

Etherprint Plus box, off which I hang a Mac+, a LaserWriter IINT,
and a PowerBook on the localtalk side.  The Thinnet side of the
Etherprint Plus box goes to two MacII's (with Farallon ethernet cards),
a NeXT with its own printer, and an RS6000.

I am waiting on a repeater box for my connection to the outside world,
but at the moment I have an isolated net.

For the Mac II's and the NeXT I have specified ethertalk phase-1.
I further started up the network on the NeXT with the
"Simple Network Starter."  I configured appletalk for ethertalk
phase 1 as discussed in the
docs, first the system, then the user part.  Finally, I turned on
appletalk in Preferences.

The Mac's all have sharing turned on, and they all successfully share files with
each other, regardles of whether they are on the localtalk or the ethertalk
side of the EtherPrint box.  All Mac's can print to the LaserWriter.

The NeXT prints to the LaserWriter as well as (natch) its own printer.  However,
I cannot share the Mac II files to the NeXT.  This I would like to do.

Of course, the Mac's cannot share the NeXT's files nor print to its
printer, but this I expected as the NeXT is only an Appletalk client.

Can anyone give me instructions on how to mount my Mac file systems on
the NeXT in this configuration?
