[comp.protocols.nfs] raw data through PC-NFS

buffered? The man for PC-NFS says that rsh does not support interactive
applications, and this is true, but telnet does. The ultimate goal
is to get our PC users to access Unix mail from the server (Sun 3/260)
without initiating a telnet session. I have tried other alternatives,
such as NFS mounting the mail directory and writing a PC mail program,
but it has some flaws. It seems that rsh almost does what I need, if I
force mail to use interactive mode through the socket. But then the
pager also needs to be forced, and using any screen based editor definitely
bombs.
