Herndon, VA -- (October 10, 1990) -- InterCon Systems Corporation is

RMacintosh users have long been asking for a host-resident NFS client
solution that would allow transparent network operations,S said Jim
Geddes, Vice President of Sales with InterCon. RBy listening to the
needs and requirements of the Macintosh marketplace, we were
successful in allowing access to our solution, in the same manner as
Macintosh users gain access to AppleShare, via Chooser. Furthermore,
in being consistent with commonly practiced NFS implementations, our
user authentication is via Sun Microsystems, YellowPages.S ROur
NFS/Share solution is the only commercially available, host-resident
implementation that is completely compatible with Apple Corp.Us
AppleSingle/AppleDouble file formats for foreign files, making it
truly NFS compatible with AppleUs A/UX operating system,S said Gaige
Paulsen, the Director of Engineering for InterCon.
NFS/Share for Macintosh systems will now become the de facto solution
for Macintosh users wanting to take advantage of distributed file
sharing within a multivendor environment. This method of a
standards-based client/server file sharing, has been embraced and
