    We run a fairly large Ethernet network with many Unix
    machines.  We have some professors and labs that use
    macs and are planning to Appletalk several buildings.
    I've just bought a fastpath 4 and am trying to decide
    what software to run on it and the macs.  Here are some
    features I need:

	1. Telnet and ftp a MUST
	2. Sharing laserwriters between macs and Unix
	   would be nice.
	3. Disk sharing would be nice
	4. Low cost per node.
	5. Minimal impact on Unix software and existing
	   Ethernet configuration (which works well and
	   I am very anxious not to distrub in any way)
    
    What are folks out there using?  Do you like it?

    Thanks in advance.
