First, buy ethernet cards for the Macs.
Second, either buy NFS client software for the Macs, or buy Appleshare
server software for the NeXT.

We are considering uShare (in the 3rd party catalog) to do this very
thing.  Furthermore, we are considering adding an external hard drive
to the NeXT, formatted as a Mac drive, and using it for the uShare
volume (under NeXTSTEP 3.0).  That way, if we choose, we can always
unplug the drive and plug it into any Mac, and everything still works.

We already run uShare on a Sun server and use it as a file server
to our Macs.  Can't see why running the NeXT version would be any
different.
