I know everyone out there in netland is looking for an NFS
implementation for the Macintosh family of computers. Well you'll
be glad to here about what I recieved in the mail the other day.
It was a several page glitzy brochure about an NFS and ethernet
product for the Mac II, the SE and the SE/30. The software
supports NFS, TCP/IP, Appletalk, and something they call Netware.
The only problem is that it can only be used with their hardware.
:-( The name of the company is below. Ask for Larry Benson, the
Northeast Regional Manager.
Cabletron Systems
P.O. Box 6257
Rochester, NH 03867
(603) 332-9400
Our company has dealt with Cabletron for several months and they
seem to be very reliable. They manufacture a large variety of
ethernet hardware including a lot of equipment that is OEMed by
others like Inmac. If you have any of Inmac's transceivers they
are really made by Cabletron. They also install network hardware.
Now if I could just convince my management to spring for another
ethernet board.....

If someone had software to provide NFS, their cards would be compatible. They've been getting a lot of calls, and admit their brochures are misleading. I don't keep great phone notes, but believe I spoke to someone named Henry Vincent. Dan Dlugose UNC Educational Computing Service
