[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] Some novice questions about PC-NFS, Windows 3.0, and AT

panguyen@vela.acs.oakland.edu (panguyen) (06/21/91)

Hello netters,
I'm a new sys admin for the Component Lab at GM Tech Center.  Here, we
got a lot PCs ; however, the bad thing is that they are not in any kind
of network environment.  Worse yet, my boss wants to save money.  I'm
looking at PC-NFS but I'm only familiar with NFS on the UNIX
environment.  I got some novice questions :
*.  Does PC-NFS work well with Windows 3.0 ?  If yes, how well ?
*.  Most of the PCs are ATs with < 2.0 Meg memory.  Is there any problem
    in performance for PC-NFS ?
*.  Do I have to have some kinds of daemons running as a server for
    NFS ? If I use an AT to do such task ( making it to be NFS server
    other ATs ) and use it for other tasks ( running a DSP program and
    runnning Windows 3.0 ), would there be any performance problems for this AT     server ?
Thanks,
Peter Nguyen
