- Yes, Bryan, there is a solution. It is called A/UX 3.0. Buy it.

- It lets you run Mac Apps, Unix apps, X apps....all at once....it is Unix.

- Get an ethernet board for your mac...or buy a Quadra....and poof....connected
- to the Sun....simple....and direct.
-
- Look into it...it is a good idea.
