Greetings!

  I need some suggestions of how to configure my machines.
  The hardware consists of the following:
  a MacII runs appleShare 2.01 and connects 12 MacPlus, a MacSE, and several
  LaserWriters through appletalk.  Also I have 2 Zenith 386 running TOPS on the
  network. Everything is connected with phone lines. Recently I got 
  a MacIIx and several NeXT macines(NeXTs are alreay on ethernet).  The 
  MacIIx comes with a EtherTalk card.  Since we have Ethernet access, I am 
  thinking about hooking this MacIIx onto ethernet as well as link it to my
  local appleTalk network through phone line. I do not have a/ux and what I 
  want is just be able to login to the NeXTs and other UNIX machines on campus 
  from this MacIIx so that I can ftp files.  Do I need more hardware and 
  software?  IS it possible to hook up the NeXTs to appleTalk as well?(Maybe
  use TOPS?)

  Thank you very much.
