Both Sun's PC/NFS and FTP's Interdrive don't seem to handle
network connection loss very well. It seems like there is
a high chance of losing data (and not knowing about it) if you
lose your network connection. Is this true? Shouldn't the user
be presented with the Abort, Retry, Ignore message (DOS critical
error handler?) ? Does the fact that NFS is a stateless protocol
cause the problem?
