- I understand they make an app called NFS Share (or similar) that runs on a Mac.
- The NeXT would need to run /usr/etc/rpc.pcnfsd. Macs can mount NeXT exported
- directories through the chooser, similar to AppleShare client software.
- However, last I saw it would not allow printing from the NeXT machine, but
- there was a rumour that this may change.

- I don't work for InterCon, just saw this product once.
