I understand that at UNIFORM/USENIX there will be a number of vendors tied together with NFS. Is there going to be a similar demonstration of RFS among different vendors? It seems to me that this is a very critical time for 5.3 RFS to demonstrate that it is a viable alternative to 4.2/3 SUN networking. There is enough momentum behind NFS that unless AT&T acts quickly, NFS will "win" by default and become the distributed unix standard.

Could anyone summarize the differences between NSF and RFS networking systems? What are the advantages/disadvantages to each? I am trying to pick one to run on a 386pc (probably under Interactive's unix or Bell Tech's unix) with a distributed database. Any comments about either of these operating systems would also be welcome. Thanks for any help. Either post or email. Mark Citron citron@csvax.caltech.edu citron@cit-vax!UUCP
