We currently have an HP-840, HP-825, HP-540 and a 350SRX (can I upgrade to a TurboSRX?) and we are using ARPA/Berkeley Services and NS/9000 to do all the communicating. When is 'vt' going to be supported on the 800 (going to a 500 via a 300 causes problems)? Down to the real point of the posting: We are considering NFS (the 500 will be leaving us shortly) but I need to check up on a few points before sending off the money. 1) Does NFS support /etc/logingroup? We protect our filesystem fairly tightly and use /etc/logingroup to make life a lot easier. We need some way of either changing group, or being in multiple groups, when accessing a disc on another system. The major problem with RFA in NS/9000 is that it doesn't support /etc/logingroup across the net. 2) Can NFS be used with Series 300 discless nodes? Reply by mail and if there's anything worthwhile I'll post a summary, Jules -- IN-REAL-LIFE: Julian Perry E-MAIL: jules@zen.co.uk || ...!mcvax!ukc!zen.co.uk!jules PHONE: +44 532 489048 ext 217 ADDRESS: Zengrange Limited, Greenfield Road, Leeds, England, LS9 8DB

Yes, and I believe that the program is quite attractive
although I am just a lowly R&D type and don't know prices for sure. Check
with your local sales rep.
