What we here at the Institute did, was quite easy (in terms of
unix-admin)

* we got ethernet cards for all the macs of the stuff.
* we got a big, big HD (1GB) for the NeXT
* we installed NFSshare on the Macs (actually on one till now, just
to try)
* we launched the nfspcd daemon on the NeXT

Now (since 3 days) we are able to access the 1GB disk from the macs.
It isnt even necessary to install yp on the unix-machine (which we
thought we had to do. It was a mess)

We then installed the apple router software on one of the
ethernet-macs, and now even some (students) Appletalk-connected Macs
are able to talk to the (ethernet) printer (oh yes, we had to buy
EtherPrint, a AppelTalk-EtherTalk converter for our Eternetless
LaserJet III).

Everything works fine till now. The advantages are like this: 

We will be able to print from the NeXT.
We can incorporate *ANY* Computer that has NFS Software available
(Some PCs are waiting for this)

Hope this helps,
