[etc. singing praises of NFS]

Why oh why would you want to muck up your macs with NFS.  It does
bad enough things on our Suns.  From what I have been told NFS for
the mac is slow and has lots of bugs.  If you want to share files
and printers you are MUCH better of using ushare from IPT.

No I do not work for ushare, but I do use it, and it works, fast
and well.  It also works on the Suns, Apollos, and a few other
platforms.  Mostly, it is stable and not buggy.
