Yvonne -- Look at running TOPS.  It allows you to remote-mount a drive
on your remote, so that it can function as a file server (depending on
what kind of mainframe you have).  For example, you can use a unix
filesystem to extend your available disk space.  Both machines must be
running TOPS for this to work (I believe).  This is what we have
running between our Suns and Macs. -- Sam Hahn
