Is this machine just going to be a _server_?  Does it maybe not yet run A/UX?
If so just leaving some free ftp server running under MacOS would be cheapest.
I dunno, it just strikes me that wedging AppleShare onto A/UX onto this poor
server Mac might be more difficult than just booting it with System 7.0 with
file sharing turned on and with NCSA Telnet in the Startup Folder and a line
in the config.tel file saying ftp=yes....  I mean, where is this guy going to
put the stuff to share with all the disk space allocated to A/UX and CAP?  ;-)

Well, it's just a thought I had....

Oh, and sorry about the .sig-to-news ratio, but our server bounces articles
with less new material than quoted material sometimes.  The .sig qualifies as
new material....  :-)
