[comp.sys.sun] PC-based NFS server software wanted.

dougm@isc.umr.edu (Doug Meyer) (09/14/89)

A relatively long time ago I spotted a piece of software going over the
net that rode on top of Sun's PC/NFS and allowed you to use a PC as an NFS
file server. I recall thinking to myself that that was kind of neat but
that I would never have need for such a thing.

I was mistaken.

If any one has any leads on where I might find this beast, I
would appreciate knowing.

+Subject: Re:  Is NFS/PC Available Yet

Yes, it is already available - was since March!  I posted to
comp.protocols.nfs and comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc then, but you must've
missed it.  Anyway it is available via anonymous ftp from this host as
/pub/sos.tar.Z.  If you cannot ftp, it is also available via the archive
server archive-server@bcm.tmc.edu.  Send "Help" on the subject line for
instructions.
