I need to have IBM PC XTs, Macintoshes, and Unix machines cooperating on
the same ethernet. I know about the mac and unix side of things, but I've
been out of the PC field for a while and would appreciate pointers to
software that would allow that XTs to do:

use the unix machine as a file server (NFS)
email via the unix machine
run X Windows
share a printer that may be hung off a unix machine or on an appletalk 
   network (if the later, we would have some sort of ethernet-appletalk bridge).

Any references you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I hate to ask what is probably beginner's question #412, but what
is the best way to get around the crippling 640K memory limit in DOS?
Can Xts run OS/2, or do you need an AT?

Thanks much for any help. If you email me, korfhage@polycatt.poly.edu
will work, in addition to the ucla address.
