[comp.dcom.modems] NFS over a serial line.

loki@moncam.uucp (Never Kid A Kidder) (06/15/90)

We are thinking of using NFS as a transparent mechanism for infrequent
file transfer over an ordinary 'phone line.  One possible setup is a
pair of SpiderBridge/TrailBlasers.  Has anyone any comments to offer
over the advisability of such a setup?  The connection is designed to
be sequential, infrequent and low volume, but I'm not sure whether the
NFS overheads will hammer it so much that any connection will suffer,
no matter how small.

Advice gratefully received.
