Sure, Telnet is great...I've been using it for 2 years now, and they've
finally taken away my "normal" terminal due to lack of use! My regular
workday consists of having 5-8 different windows open on my 2-page-display,
each window containing a terminal session on a different Sun. Once you
have the terminal session, you can transfer files very easily with ftp.

Of course, you'll need a gateway from the Mac network to the Unix network.
We use Kinetics Fastpath.

I'll be looking forward to replies on backing up the Mac on Unix disks...
