"MacNFS" might mean a specific package by that name, or it might mean "an NFS client for the Macintosh". If you mean the first, this was traditionally available via anonymous FTP from some machine at University of Michigan (actually the CITI group there), where it was developed in cooperation with Apple. The last I saw, it had only got to sort-of-working research-ware state before Apple took the development in-house. I heard rumors that Apple sent betas to people a year or two ago, but it has never become a product from them. I think that it was withdrawn from FTP-type circulation when Apple took it over, but I could be wrong. If you mean the second, there are two that I know of. One, PathWay NFS for the Mac from the Wollongong Group, is shipping now. Dunno the cost. I'm using it now, and it works fairly well. Intercon showed their NFS client at Interop, but I think it's not shipping yet. Their product looked like it would do the job, too. I think you might get info by sending to "info@twg.com" and "info@intercon.com" respectively; if you can't, you should be! - RL "Bob" Morgan Networking Systems Stanford -------

It hasn't been (and probably won't ever be) released. If you're referring to our Pathway Client NFS product for the Macintosh, you can get it from Wollongong. Intercon has also announced their intention to market a similar NFS product, but as far as I know it isn't available yet. -- David N.
