"I liked the topic so much, I started another basenote" liberally mangled Victor Kiam quote of the day... The whole topic of NFS over TCP/IP is an interesting one on it's own. The basic reasons include better operation over WAN's - either by avoiding, or better coping with, lost packets. Everyone seems to think that two nodes on an ethernet wont' have any problems. Is this really the case? There are several workstations 'out there' that are able to send data with the ether min timing, that might be talking with nodes that cannot. I would suggest that as a *small* but real area of benefit wrt NFS/TCP. WANs do seem to be the big reason. $WAG ON It would also allow one to 'port' NFS over to a TP implementation, and thus be a migration strategy for OSI. (Unless they finally get datagram defined?) $WAG OFF Does anyone have NFS and/or UDP modules defined for netsim? Perhaps it would be interesting to get some 'virtual' data for all this supposition... rick jones
