The Ameristar Internet package includes a 10mbit/sec ethernet and
comes bundled with tcp/ip, NFS, rsh, and much more software. You
will be able to share files on that HP harddisk. The ethernet boards
are available and in stock from GfxBase, 1881 Ellwell Dr. Milpitas,Ca.

For dtp, you might look at Frame from Frame Technologies. I believe they
have a version that runs on HP equipment that talks X-Windows. You can
then all use your Amiga's displays as Frame displays if you also get
X11 from GfxBase.
I know this was a bit commercial.
