I have a similar problem. I am running Mac II A/UX, and would like to use
it as a file server for the 20+ Mac-SEs that we have. Does anyone know of any
current, off-the-shelf software that I can use to make it a NFS/TOPS/appleshare
server? I know about the IPT stuff (ushare) - but its not ready yet.

We are already running telnet/fastpath.
