Is there an easy way to do the following? 

I want to connect a Mac() to a NeXT cube over Ethernet and running
NFS. Then I want this Mac to be connected via Appletalk to a
LaserWriter and to an AppleIIGS over Appletalk.

That way, I would be able to back up the Mac to the NeXT optical.
I would be able to transfer NeXT generated PS files to the Mac
and then(using SendPS) to the LaserWriter and I would be able to
transfer GS files over Appletalk to the Mac and then to the NeXT
for backup onto an optical.

Is it enough to get some kind of Ethernet connection for the Mac and
a product called, I believe, Mac TCP/IP in order to accomplish this?

Finally, when recording sound on the NeXT it seems to save as an Edit
text file! Does one have to add an extension like ".snd" in order to
replay it on the NeXT?

Thank's. Questions now, maybe I'll know something in a year!

By the way: Is there a Basic for the NeXT?
