I am trying to build a simple server/client application which will
connect Sun Workstations (running SunOS 4.0.3) with PCs (running 
PC-DOS 3.30 and PC-NFS 3.0.1 on 3Com 3C501's).  The application uses
Internet Domain Streams to provide a reliable connection.
I am using PC-NFS Toolkit 1.0 and Microsoft C 5.1.

The application currently runs just fine between Suns (Sun-3, Sun-4, and
Sun 386i) and an SGI Personal IRIS.

The toolkit routines seem to hang at arbitrary and unreproducible points.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has successfully used
the Toolkit to create reliable Internet Domain Streams.  Any incantations,
black magic, voodoo, etc. is welcome.  If anyone knows that this stuff
simply doesn't work - I'd like to know that too!

Thanks in advance,
