In the current release, Sun's "PC/NFS" only supports Ethernet and SLIP.

We sell an NFS client product named "Interdrive" as an add-on to our
DOS TCP/IP package "PC/TCP".  We support about 20 different network
interfaces, including any 802.5 card with a software driver compatible
with IBM's "ASI" (TOKREUI) specification.  The IBM LAN Support program
does this and is available for both 4Mb and 16Mb cards.

Beame & Whiteside also has a DOS NFS, but I think it only has Ethernet drivers.
