Since many SYSVr3 Systems include RFS and the new Sun OS has RFS builtin, Does anyone know of PC products that may be able to use RFS? Maybe AT&T can come out with PC-RFS. -- Steven Engelhardt NCR Comten steve.engelhardt@stpaul.ncr.com Development Computer Center, MS: S015 ..uunet!ncrlnk!ncrstp!ncrcce!steve 2700 Snelling Ave. N.

Maybe AT&T can come out with PC-RFS. It was my understanding that RFS was very dependent on Unix filesystem semantics, and given that, it would be real hard to do a PC version.

Maybe AT&T can come out with PC-RFS. AT&T does have something called the Starlan DOS Server, which presents something that looks like a netbios/redirector interface to connect PC's to their unix machines. It doesn't use RFS directly but you can RFS-mount remote machines directories underneath the directory that the PC links as a DOS drive and it will work fine. Les Mikesell les@chinet.chi.il.us

They do market Lan Manager/X (Microsoft Lan Manager running on Unix) called StarGROUP V3.3. The first four layers are ISO. You should be able to RFS mount remote file systems out the back of a StarGROUP server (and that goes for NFS too, AT&T supports both Lachman's and Wollongong's NFS for SysV/386). I've never done it, I'd sure like to hear from anyone who has (good, bad and the ugly). -- John Robert Breeden, netcom!jbreeden@apple.com, apple!netcom!jbreeden, ATTMAIL:!jbreeden ------------------------------------------------------------------- "The nice thing about standards is that you have so many to choose from.
