We are about to buy a couple of MacIntosh and Sun-2. The Macs are to be
connected via AppleTalk. Now I wonder the following:

1.	In a posting Aug 28, 1984, a specification for the hardware for an
	Applebus - Ethernet Gateway by Bill Croft & Nick Veizades, Stanford
	Sumex project. Is that still the best way to go? Is there any
	commersial products that makes a Sun with the Multibus to talk to
	AppleNet?

2.	If we can make the Sun talk to the AppleNet, we want to make the Sun
	to act as a FileServer for the MacIntoshes. Has anybody done that?
	Has anybody tried? Anything we should be aware of?


Somehow I think someone must have thought about this before so I try the
net. I hope for an answer, positive or negative.
