I have to say that I was disappointed. It can do the job but has some serious limitations for my purpose. Features: * Access NFS servers from the Mac * LPR print server * SNMP Agent * Uses MacTCP * Includes Net Text and NFS Mounter * And some more Pluses: Install not too bad. Documentation Adequate SNMP Agent LPR Net Text to read text from to match the appropriate OS Minuses: No ftp/telnet - separate product The client is SINGLE User so two people can't mount the same directory. Says it supports PCNFSD but only has documentation for their own daemon NFSAD. "With WIN/NFS for VMS 1.4 files stored on VAX/VMS systems will not be rewritten correctly after being modified by Macintosh users." It also appears incompatible with PC-NFS in that I use the DOS copy command on a text file. I can see it on the Mac but I can't use NET TEXT with it. The file has no type or creator. I will give Wollongong a call to make sure I'm doing things right but I plan to send it back. I'm willing to look at the other NFS product. If it: will allow Mac's and PCs to share together in a volume maintained by WIN/NFS for VMS. (PC running SUN's PC-NFS 3.01a) Does anyone know if it does and please send me the phone number. I hope the 1.1 release comes out soon because "early adapters" will have to tolerate the product's initial shortcoming for a while
