[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] sos_pkt.exe ?

Hello folks,

I snarfed the SOS NFS server from the Baylor archives last week and
played with it a little.  It's interesting, but it would be nicer if
you didn't have to set up PCNFS first to run it.  I saw something called
sos_pkt.exe in the ka9q archives on sun.soe.clarkson.edu, and made the
assumption that since it was larger than the other one, and based on the
name, that this was a standalone version that only needed a packet driver.
This seems not to be the case, as when I try to run it, it tells me I need
a netdev.sys.

I don't see any likely looking readme in the same area, does anyone know
what the story is here?  Do I need all of KA9Q to run this?  (Given the
directory I would say yes, but some of the other stuff in there is not
really ka9q related).


				Thanks,

It doesn't really need PC-NFS specifically, just something that will provide
a socket type abstraction for it to sit on.  SOS was actually written with
the Excelan card and libraries, and Geoff Arnold later did it for PC-NFS.
If you have something like that already, try modifying socket.c to your
specifications.
