AppleTalk software is included with System 6.0.1.  With FileSharing 
turned on on the Mac, that means the MAC can share files, not the GS.  
Your GS will not show up on the Mac.  You need to use the AppleShare 
control panel (on the GS) to log on to the Mac's HD, which will then show 
up on the GS desktop.

I've heard a printer cable works for a 2 computer network.  Never tried 
it though.  I use PhoneNet drops.
