 I'm just wondering is anyone has successfully tightened up the code
in PCNFS.SYS as distributed by SUN for PC-NFS 3.0?

 I have no idea if this is doable but can no longer afford 58K+ hanging
around in memory all the time either.

 Any suggestions welcome (disinstall/reinstall programs?, hardware addons?
some sort of memory expander?). The target systems are mostly IBM ATs (80286).
Other smaller packages that can support NFS would be a reluctant option.

 Please respond by E-mail. I will summarize to the net.
