Could someone with experience networking Apple Macs and Sun workstations
give me some idea of what the options are for connecting these systems.
Our existing network consists of a Sun workstation acting as a server for
a number of PC-DOS machines running PC-NFS.  We've recently aquired a
couple of Macs and it would be extremely useful to have them integrated
into the existing network. Of particular interest is file access and
remote printing. I'm somewhat familiar with a few solutions like the
Cayman Gatorbox, KIP/CAP and the Kinetics Fastpath. Our budget restraints
are fairly severe, so I'm interested in the cheapest solution possible.
The Mac systems we're trying to network are a Mac SE and a Mac II. Any
ideas would be appreciated.
