SUMMARY:
The most reccommended solution for just a few systems was:
* SCSI to 10BaseT converter (by Asante, Focus Systems,
Danya Comm., or Technology Works)
* MacTCP (from Apple)
* NCSA telnet from ftp.ncsa.uiuc.edu
* CAP (Columbia Appletalk Protocol)
or
* NFS-Share (TCP/IP/NFS) software from Intercon
For more than a few systems it was suggested that I use a GatorBox or
its equal, but since I only need to connect two PowerBooks......
