Hello, world. I've recently attempted to use SOS (Stan's Own Server - a PC based NFS server) on my PS/2 Model 70. I found a version pre-compiled to use the packet drivers somewhere (offhand I don't remember where). Anyway, I tried it. I ran the software and exported two directories on my PS/2 (one of which was a NetWare drive). Then I went to my friendly Unix box running HP-UX 7.0 and mounted the file systems. Well, it seemed to work. I was able to do an "ls" on the drives and everything looked honky-dory. However when I looked at a file on the PS/2 (using vi, cat, more, ...) I was only able to get about 80 to 100 bytes, where upon cat, vi, etc ended as if it had seen end-of-file. Then I tried to copy over a big file. /etc/hosts would do (~200k). I got some error message back saying something to the effect that the cp was incomplete. So I looked at the remote file. Well, exactly 0 bytes were transfered. So I tried to remove the file. This time I got "unable to remove the file, unknown error". From my naive view point it looks like SOS is not working. I tried doing this to the PS/2's local drive and to the PS/2's NetWare drive, both had the same results. Has anyone had any successes with SOS? If so I'd like to know what things are different about your configuration. This package seems far to usefull for the author to have left such a blatant bug in the code. Perhaps it's a problem with the packet drivers. This piece of software may prove to be of great importance to me. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, - Mark. P.S. !!!!!!ATTENTION!!!!!

I've looked around and can't seem to find any references to it elsewhere. FTP is fine. Thanks in advance, Brian --- brian@cimage.com
