We've done it with a Sun server, without any problems. Note that under
PC-NFS 3.0.1 you may need to use the "Raw" option to
avoid the new filtering code. I don't know about Wollongong's server
side. Does anmyone from TWG read this group?

I believe so, but I'd trust end-user experience over a vendor's
assertion any day!
