[comp.dcom.lans] NFS???

wvanbeek@tippy.uucp (02/23/89)

All right, here's a good question for all of you people out there in
lan world.  My shop is looking for/ willing to work with/ interested in
hearing about/ in desperate need of/ about ready to do almost anything
to get information and possibly the sources for the redirector portion
of PC based NFS.

The problem as my hackers tell me is this.  Apple has the sources but
MICROSOFT wrote the redirector portion of AppleShare/PC.  They're more
than willing to help but the cost associated with that little redirector
question makes the cost $100+ per CPU.  For our school, this begins to
run into a large sum of money.

I think CMU started to work on it at the driver level, but ????  That's
the last that we heard.  I've heard quiet rumors that others are working
on it.


Our needs are AppleTalk, Token Ring, and EtherNet based.  Again, my
hackers tell me that if they get one working, the others will fall into
place very quickly.

Any help would be appreciated.
