I've got problems using Xircom Network Adapter together with Sun's PC-NFS. I've mounted several diskdrives on my Sun 4/390 from my PC. The problem is - that there is problems with some files, that won't be copied out on af mounted drive from the C: or A: drive. It seems that it have some thing to do with the length of the file. Xircom Network Adapter is copying files in blocks of 8K. It's in the last block it goes wrong. And if you make a file on 1291 bytes, I garantie it goes wrong every time you try to copy it. I've told my problem to the dealer, and they promissed they will overbring my problem to Xircon Inc. But it seems that they won't prioritize high enough. Anyone who have the same problem as me!? I'll like to hear from you.

I've been working with Xircom to resolve this. It's VERY machine-dependent,
and I'm not sure why. Anyway, Steve Smith at Xircom said it was OK
for me to post this copy of the driver with my fixes. Please let
me know if it doesn't solve your problems.
