Does anyone know if PCNFS supports packet drivers?

I have run Sun's PC NFS package over packet drivers for a couple of
years now.  I don't know whether the code is distributed as part of
the package.  You can contact Geoff Arnold at Sun East
(garnold@sun.com) for details.

Nope.  PCNFS uses the kind of drivers loaded at config.sys time.  The packet
drivers are resident programs, so they come later.  (Please correct me if my
information is out of date!).

I have tested PC-NFS 3.0.1 with Clarkson Token Ring packet driver with good
results (at least, they worked together :-) . I guess both PC-NFS packet
driver interface (PKTD.SYS) and Clarkson driver package can be FTP'd from
sun.soe.clarkson.edu .
