You don't say, but I presume you're running DOS on the Model 80, if so you
should seriously consider getting Sun's PC-NFS software.  This will let
you share the disks and printers on any Sun on the network (e.g. LPT2: on
your PS/2 could be the Sun's laser printer and drive G: on the PS/2 could
be your home directory on the Sun, etc.) You'll also get standard
necessities like telnet and ftp.  You need at least version 3.0 to support
the EtherLink/MC card. Price of PC-NFS is about $300.
