I am looking public domain source code for both IBM PC's and BSD unix machines that would allow the PC to mount disks on the unix machine over an ethernet. I know all about PC-NSF, that is much more than I need. I want to allow many PC's to share READ-ONLY fixed or variable length virtual disks. The server will be some BSD based machine. These 'disks' can be fixed length files on the unix machine, the disks will be read only by PC's only. There was a program call RVD, developed at MIT, that does exactly what I want. Can anyone direct me to the source for RVD or other public domain software (incomplete or messy code is ok). I need to be able to support various ethernet cards. I don't need anything polished because I will probably have to alter it for our site anyway. Thanks Brad Clements bkc@omnigate.clarkson.edu

The RVD software is not quite in shape for distribution right now, though that can possibly be arranged. The PC RVD client runs on top of MIT's PC/IP software, which supports a few different PC Ethernet boards, though perhaps not all the ones you want. Please contact me for more information about it.
