Folks, I have an Excelan Ethernet card left over from an earlier life as the TCP/IP/Ethernet interface in an IBM PC/AT running SCO Xenix/286. Now, I'd like to use that card in a PC with PC-DOS 3.3 and run Sun's PC-NFS over it. Can this be done? I can neither find that card mentioned in the PC-NFS documentation, nor have I heard of any Excelan driver for PC-NFS. -- Robert Claeson, ERBE DATA AB, P.O.

There IS a version of PC-NFS running on Excelan, but it will be of limited utility to most of you - ASCII Corporation in Japan sells a Kanji PC-NFS derivative which ONLY works with the Excelan card (and, I believe, only on certain Kanji-ready PCs). -- Geoff Arnold, Sun Microsystems Inc. | "It is well known that the longer one PC Dist.
