Is there a product that allows a Mac Plus or Mac Classic to access disk
and printer resources using SLIP or using an external Ethernet adapter?

I've been using PC/NFS with some PCs and a NeXT for some time, but I've
just been asked if something similar can be done with non-MacII Macs.
The asker is looking for:
- Access to the host's disks (a NeXT).  Some sort of virtual disk mounting
	would be nicest (like PC/NFS), but failing that, at least FTP.
- Access to the host's Postscript printer for Mac output.  
- Access (via telnet or something similar) to a modem connected to the host.

Thanks for any pointers.

-Dean
