I imagine someone may have a summary of answers to this question already,  
which I'd love to see:

What software/hardware do I need on a Macintosh Performa 400 to hook into my  
NeXTstation via ethernet?  I know of MacTCP but am not sure if there are other  
options.  I'm hoping to find an unbeatable bargain on an ethernet board for  
the Mac, if there is such an unbeatable thing.

I'm mostly interested in cleanly setting up the Mac to print to the NeXT's  
laser printer, and to receive e-mail via NNTP from the NeXT (which gets its  
mail via a SLIP connection).  If anyone can warn me about Postscript  
compatibility problems, that would be helpful too.

Thanks,

Eric
