NFS for AIX PS/2 1.1 has been available from your branch sales office as a
"special" for customers who absolutely require NFS functionality before the
AIX PS/2 1.2 ship date.  My partner and I provided this on contract to IBM.

Given how close the estimated 1.2 ship date is, I'd recommend waiting.
Among other things, NFS will then be a supported product.
