- I do not believe there is any software that allows you to "export" nfs file
- systems. There are nfs "clients" available for the mac from a couple
- different sources. I use Intercon's NFSshare, but I also understand
- Woolongong (sp?) makes one too.

- You may want to look at TOPS. I believe this will allow file systems to be
- shared between macs, pcs and several unix machines.

- Let's suppose the LaserWriter is an AppleTalk printer on a network.
- Localtalk or Ethernet. If so, there are several software packages available
- that run on the unix machines that allow printing to go to the Apple
- LaserWriter. CAP is available for free and there are a couple commercial
- packages.
-
- However if the printer connected to your Mac is not an AppleTalk printer, I
- think you are out of luck.
-
- Intercon is working on a utility that would allow you mac to print to a
- unix lpr printer though.
