Personally, I wouldn't worry about anything other than TCP/IP.  The
IIgs, Macs and PCs running BeOS or any version of Windows or Unix can
all deal with TCP/IP.

The big thing we need is a file sharing system that will work for all
of those operating systems.  I know Windows file sharing works over
TCP/IP as that is what I have set up at home.  I don't know if there
is any support for Windows file sharing for the other systems, though.
I know there isn't for the IIgs.  :-)
