In an ideal world every system would be running TCP/IP
and using NFS to
access remote disks, but it's not an ideal world. Good luck finding NFS
at
any price for the Mac
NFS clients for Win9x PC's at any sensible price (ie freeware or shareware)
seem to
be non-existent. I have Xlink on this machine, and it works well, but why
there
aren't a swag of free/shareware ones kicking around on the net is anyones
guess.
I don't recall seeing any free/shareware DOS/Win3x clients either.
.......I've spent the entire evening trying to get
the VMS box in
quesiton serving up NFS.
I run Multinet 3.2 Rev B NFS Server on a 6000 under VMS 6.0 here,
and I have a VMS 6.2 Vaxstation that has UCX installed for tinkering.
What is the problem you are having getting the NFS server to work?
