[comp.unix.sysv386] PC-Interface

joe@astph.UUCP (Joe Broniszewski) (10/04/90)

We are considering installing PC-NFS at our site.  If anyone has
experience with ISC's PC-Interface product could you answer the following:

Does it require NFS under it? 
Can it do remote backups, mail, peer to peer transfers?
Is it a worth while product?
How difficult is it to maintain/install?

Over the last week or so, I've been engaged in a number of discussions
both in news and by E-mail with various people regarding PC-Interface.

On Monday, we replaced a disk drive on this machine, but there was a news
feed and some outgoing mail that got caught between the backup of the old
drive and the restore of the data to the new drive.  In particular, I 
think two pieces of my outgoing mail bounced, but the return messages were
lost before I could read them.

If any of you sent mail to me, or posted a message on this topic, and got
no response, I'm not ignoring you.  Please send me mail if you have 
questions about this product ( unix hosted file, print, terminal, and
remote execution support for MS-DOS PCs).
