3Com announces EtherMac.  EtherMac connects the 3Server network server to
Appletalk for Macintosh use, and provides:
* Volume Service -- volumes can be private (1 reader/writer), public (many
  readers, 1 writer), or shared (many readers & writers).  You can access
  volumes on any 3Server on the Ethernet backbone network.  With the optional
  3Server tape backup unit, MS-DOS and Macintosh volumes may be easily backed
  up to tape.
* LaserWriter Print Spooling -- dramatically decreases the time spent waiting
  for jobs to print.  Print jobs are spooled to the 3Server hard disk and
  printed in the order received.  The Macintosh is thus freed up to continue
  with useful work, rather than waiting for its turn at the printer.
* Integration with 3Com's EtherSeries for the IBM PC -- A utility is supplied
  that allows Macintoshes to link to MS-DOS format volumes (anywhere on the
  Ethernet) and transfer data back and forth.  MS-DOS machines can print on
  3Server-attached LaserWriters.
