From the information that I have gathered, you should use PC-NFS (PC Network File System) on the MS-DOS machines (works with Windows!) that access the NeXT; the NeXT OS comes with NFS. I am still waiting on the NeXT so I have yet to implement this. Good Luck! <Robert Thompson>

Sun's PC-NFS isn't your only option--you might be much happier with the client NFS products from Beame & Whiteside and FTP Software. Further discussion should go to comp.dcom.lans, comp.protocols.nfs, and/or comp.protocols.tcp.ibm-pc. -=EPS=-
