- We're looking for input on a decent Mac with ethernet to Unix file transfer
- utility. At present we're using the gatorbox, but the Appletalk speed is
- clearly unsuited for our pruposes, that is transferring large sounds files
- from the Mac to our Unix servers. We have some Macs with Ethernet Cards,
- and have tried uShare and InterCon's Mac NFS. A quick summary of these two:
-
- uShare runs on the Sun 4, and fires up some atp daemons that allow the Macs
- on Ethernet to mount Unix disks. However, it seems pretty buggy, prone to
- crash and isn't all that easy to configure or use. But it's just one piece
- of costly software that runs on the Sun.
-
- Mac NFS lives on the mac, takes a bit of configuring to get running, but once
- in place it seems to work. However, it's over $200/pop, and that could get
- pretty pricey, given the number of Mac at our site.
-
- Does anybody have any experience with these products or their competitors?
- Please email rickk@emu.com, and I'll send a summary out on 9-1-92. Hurry,
- this is YOUR CHANCE to contribute your wisdom for the good of all. Your
- responses are very much appreciated.
