I don't have their NFS. Their Host-based TCP-IP doesn't include it. With
their TCP-IP you could support System V Remote File System, not NFS, or
RPC. It did include the BSD networking daemons.

The failure I got WAS in an ioctl call.

The mods I made were to change some of the #include lines that referred to
BSD includes, and substituted or added the include lines to refer to where
Interactive put them on my system. It compiled with no other problems.

I am now going to try with the other TCP-IP they supply, which supports an
Interlan board (NP600) exclusively. My interest is to support Xicom's own
product (SNA gateway) over TCP-IP lines. I hope that I can do it without
clashing with RPC products.
