Thank you for the replys. I haven't had time to try any of them yet. It
appears that there are several possibilites:
- PPS-1.0-P1, Connectivity Products: PC Integration SolarNet PC Protocol
Services 1.0 from SunSoft
- SunPC from SunSoft
- SoftNet Client from Puzzle Systems Corporation
Dave Fetrow suggested checking http://www.novell.com, which I havn't done yet.
Thanks for the help. Detailed responses follow:

Sun used to make a netware sunlink product that was a server. I'm not
sure if it had client functionality too. I'm also not sure if it is
still available.
On the other hand, if you only need occasional access, I'd recommend
getting SunPC, the SoftPC clone that emulates a PC. It supports IPX
and you can bring it up whenever you need to access those files. Once
the files are copied to a local UNIX disk, you can shut down SunPC
if you don't want it.
Software only SunPC is pretty cheap, too. You wouldn't need the
SBus accelerators for this simple function.
