[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] NFS client for MS-DOS

engwall@mtha.usc.edu (Ralph Engwall) (06/01/90)

   We have been using NCSA Telnet 2.2D to provide a link between
our PCs and Unix hosts.  This product works very well for us, but
does not provide print spooling to Unix or allow PC's to mount our Unix
Disks.  I know that PC-NFS and FTP software's package can do this, but
of course being a University we have *No Budget*.   So I have three
questions for the net:

1. Are there any Freeware or PD programs out there that will provide 
   Printer Spooling and NFS client services as well as Telnet and FTP?   

2. I have seen references to packages called NOS and PC/IP.  Do they
   offer any functions I can't get with NCSA Telnet?

3. Am I mistaken in thinking that an NFS Client program can be distributed 
   without a license from Sun?
