NFS on an RT is usable.  That is about as nice as I can get.

I had 'options=soft' in /etc/filesystems and was losing NFS
connections whenever either the client or the server were
heavily loaded.

It took several days for someone to tell me to try 'options=
hard,intr'.  Why this isn't the default [ or hard-wired ] is
a mystery.

I love my RT.  I'd like to have one at home.  But I hated NFS
enough to go steal a SCSI from someone else ;-(
