Dear Friends, AT&T has their own file sharing protocol, called Remote File Sharing or RFS. It is included (along with NFS) in UNIX V.4. Since AT&T doesn't seem on the ball about registering an official TCP/IP port number for RFS, how can we get this going? We just went through a lot of pain getting a customer's site set up with RFS over our TCP talking to RFS over another TCP. This protocol has been out for three years, and has built a major installation base. Not having an official TCP/IP port number for it is an oversight that must be corrected.

Hi. Port Numbers, Protocol Numbers, etc, are issued by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
