I'm posting this for a friend.

How do Mac desktop applications gain access to files across a network.
The tenative solution being considered is to connect Mac IIs to a PC via
Appletalk, the PC having an ethernet card, with some kind of protocol to
exchange data between the PC and the Mac.

This seems like a less than elegant solution.  Knowing that there are ethernet
cards for Mac IIs and AU/X, is there existing software that works in the
Mac OS (desktop) environment?  

Any and all info would be appreciated.  Please email me.

Thanks

Chewey, get us outta here!
