http://www.intrec.com/ Intrec has what you need, ProTERM A2.

It would probably be easier to set up an AppleTalk network
between the IIGS and Mac.  The easiest way to do this is to
purchase a Focus hard drive for the IIGS from
http://www.allelec.com/ Alltech.  It has System 6.0.1
preinstalled, so you can boot into GS/OS from it.  From
GS/OS on the IIGS and MacOS on the Mac side, you
can set up a network via AppleTalk between IIGS Finder
and Macintosh Finder.

ProTERM and the Focus hard drive will run you about
the same in terms of price, so I think the Focus is the better
buy.

The Focus also has some freeware and shareware installed.
