[comp.unix.wizards] NFS for Vaxen

torben@uhmanoa.UUCP (09/12/87)

As far as I know, there are two implementations of NFS for Vaxen running
4.3BSD. One is from Mt. Xinu (costs around $3K for a University). The other
one (and I only know of this one as a ``rumor") is supposedly from somewhere
in Wisonsin. Anyone who knows anything about the latter?

I'm looking for an NFS implementation for a couple of ageing Vax-11/78{0,5}'s
and if there's a half-way reasonable implementation out there that's cheaper
than the one from Mt. Xinu, I'd like to hear about it. I don't really object
to Mt. Xinu's price; i.e., I think it's quite reasonable, but I don't have much
money to spend and I'll only need it for a year or so until the Vaxen get
retired. Any information is appreciated.

Ultrix 2.0 has NFS (but not NFS file locking).
