We are using r:base for dos network unlimited using a Sun 3/280S running SunOS
4.0.1 as a file server.  We are attempting to implement record locking with 
a TCP/IP protocol.  We have attempted to use FTP and PC-NFS version 3.0.1.
We are aware that r:base is only supported on Novell and 3+(PLUS) networks,
however, after talking with engineers at Microrim and Sun, we feel that there
should not be a technical reason stopping us from implementing this.
To date we have been unsuccessful.  If anyone has any experience with this problem,
please contact me either by reply mail or via voice.
