Thanks to everybody who responded. Since many people were interested
I am posting a summary. 

There is a program called uShare by IPT, Inc that runs on NeXT and 
makes NeXT a file, printer and e-mail server for a Mac network.
Also, if there are other Unix computers on the same network, e.g. SGI
workstations, they can also print to the NeXT printer.

Their phone number is 1-800-233-9993

Here are some specs:

Supported Network hardware:
FASTPATH, EtherGate, Apple Internet Router, EtherNet cards from
Apple, Shlva 3Com, Asante

File systems:
Apple HFS-AFP, NFS, BSD

Network protocols:
EtherTalk Phase I and II, TCP/IP, Ethernet, LocalTalk, NFS

Platforms:
Macintosh and NeXT

They sell the program in 3 packages:
1NeXT - 1Mac, 1NeXT - <5 Macs and 1NeXT - unlimited Macs.
