Other than Sun, who produces NFS stuff for PCs? As a University, we're particularly interested in stuff that comes: 1. Free, like from another university 2. Low-cost (big education discount, or site license) 3. In Source in that order. Our budget is very limited, and the cost of the ethercards themselves is a strain. They're not worth all that much to us if we can't run NFS on them, though, and Sun just wants too much money for us. Thanks for any help you can give, David Hayes, Director of Engineering Computing Southern Methodist University phone: 214-692-3066 (rarely in to answer) email: hayes@smu.edu

A company called Beame & Whiteside in Canada sells an implementation of NFS for the PC. It supposedly runs in only 40k, although I have not had the opportunity to verify that. They also sell a 2 versions of Telnet that allow standard comm programs which expect the COM port to use telnet/ethernet instead. One version (~$150 works via interupt 14, the other (~$225) uses a loop back plug on COMn: and works with virtualy any asynch program. I seem to recall the PC-NFS as being about $225 with good discounts (30% for 20 copies and gets much, much better). You can call the office at (416) 648-6556 or you can reach Carl Beame c/o McMaster University at (416) 525-9140 x4025.

I would like to get the addresses of the vendors producing gateways between Pc-NFS and Novell Netware. I believe several were mentioned a while ago, but we don't have the post here anymore. All pointers would be appreciated.
