Keywords: Sun, TOPS, networking Message-ID: <5466@bloom-beacon.MIT.EDU> Date: 20 May 88 23:15:52 GMT References: <17405@cornell.UUCP> <578@stech.UUCP> <5861@uwmcsd1.UUCP> Sender: daemon@bloom-beacon.MIT.EDU Reply-To: sorensen@hstbme.mit.edu.UUCP (A. Gregory Sorensen) Organization: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lines: 15 Another question from the neophyte: Our lab has a MacII next to a Sun4...and we're interested in getting them to share data in just a crude way -- copying files from one to the other, sharing a printer -- no heavy duty network database application or anything. We figure TOPS would be the logical choice, as Sun makes it...so... Anyone with *experience* with this stuff? Is it worth it? Better options? Which port on the back of the Sun? And other relevant answers would be appreciated. Thanks, Greg Sorensen
