Yes but can the GS access a volume that has been mounted on a Mac from
say a Unix computer using NFS. To the Mac the Unix Hard Drive appears as
just another hard drive, but can this "hard drive" be exported to the
GS using Personal AppleShare? If it could, then you could send items from
a GS to a Unix machine with ease. Now typically the Mac will connect to
the Unix computer via Ethernet and use Mac NFS or whatever in order to mount
the Unix computer's hard drive onto the Mac desktop. On the other hand 
this same Mac is then connected to the GS via Appletalk( over Localtalk).

I guess I'm asking if the Unix mounted hard drive is a Personal AppleShare
volume.
