I am trying to figure out the best way to share an Apple LaserWriter between
a NeXTstation and a Mac II with ethernet/talk.  Right now I am leaning towards
serial cables with a switch box for reasons of simplicity; although, I would 
like to use the ethernet and hang the printer on the NeXT so that more systems 
could share the printer in the future.  Anyone have any thoughts or experience
with this?

Thanks for any help,
