[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] configure Sun's PC-NFS and packet drivers

I am trying to set up a PC only network. use pc A running soss as server,
pc B running PC-NFS, so far I an mount pc A's file system to pc B, I can 
even copy some files to/from two pcs. The problem shows when I tried to 
run program from pc B use file in pc A. pc B crash. pc A (soss server) 
print some thing like 
NFS_READ truncate 1024 ...
the sample mount command for unix with soss, do some thing like
mount -f nfs rsize=512,wsize=512...
The question here is: is it possible to specify rsize and wsize in PC-NFS?
I RTFM and didn't find anything like that. is there any NFS product for PC
that can do the above?

PS: where can I find a working pktd.sys? I have a copy doesn't work.

Youda,
	I think this response needs to go onto a FAnsweredQ list. For info
on a working pktd.sys file, and the reasons PC-NFS has troubles coexisting
with other networking material, is found in directory [anonymous.pcnfs]
(using the brackets and dot please) on my VMS VAX netlab.usu.edu 129.123.1.11.

The latest SOSS should resolve this, though I haven't had a chance
to verify this.

I just posted the 3.5 version to comp.protocols.nfs.
