IBM has announced intent to support NFS under AOS 4.3. However, I need it NOW.
Does anyone know where I can get it?

We did it here at MIT, essentially taking the easy way out by using the
Wisconsin 4.3BSD VAX and Brown 4.2BSD RT implementations as starting points.
Given that start, it was a very easy project. I believe IBM will be getting
this from Project Athena, at least informally, although I'm not sure what
their product will be based on (I know they had at least one other group
which was working on 4.3+NFS; we couldn't wait, however.)
Contact me for information on obtaining it. If you already have Sun NFS
and ACIS 4.3 sources and licenses, I wouldn't imagine that it would be
very difficult.

Supposedly there is a renegade RT group within IBM that has 4.3BSD. They may have NFS. The group is over on the west coast, although there may be something in the Austin Texas area. Sorry, no particulars -tank-

The ACIS group produces ACIS 4.3a, which is IBM's BSD Unix product. As far as I am able to tell, ACIS is only available to Universities. -- # Henry Mensch / <henry@garp.mit.edu> / E40-379 MIT, Cambridge, MA # {ames,cca,rochester,harvard,mit-eddie}!garp!henry
