Those of you who use Novell and are forced to use PC-NFS and are therefore bitching about it, my condolences. Those of you are using PC-NFS and need or want NFS but need a better/more complete implementation of it, perhaps you should look into something like SCO Unix with the windowing stuff added in. It is real pretty, real complete, real demanding of PC resources (6-8 Meg RAM, 150-200 Meg disk) and real expensive (list $1500). But it is a real network (whatever that is) and can do just about everything that OS/2 keeps promising in the next release and can do what Novell is working toward. I insert this post not because I work for SCO, and not because I like their stuff. I haven't even used it. But I attended one of their seminars and came away very impressed by what I saw. If I have to buy a big PC and put an expensive multi-tasking OS on it to get the features I want, then I would go Unix over OS/2 anyday. MHO.
