I am considering using MacPathwayNFS by Wollongong to allow a group
of Macs to use a SUN Sparcstation as a file server. The Macs are on
ethernet, running MacTCP and NCSA Telnet. The SUNs are also hanging
off the ethernet. Has anyone had any experience with MacPathwayNFS,
good or bad? Does MacPathwayNFS use IP packets to communicate? Our
network administrator will not allow any apple packets on the network.
Any insights on this product would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have received inquiries from others who are also interested in
evaluating MacPathwayNFS from Wollongong. I have been told that
this product does infact communicate with IP packets.
I have also been informed of another product called NFS/Share by
InterCon which does the same thing as MacPathwayNFS. The InterCon
people tell me their product behaves more like a Mac user would
expect it to because it is controlled through the chooser instead
of the control panel. Has anyone seen or used NFS/Share? What
are your impressions? Has anyone compared these two products?
Which did you prefer? Any insights on either of these products
would be greatly appreciated.
