Dear Friends,

AT&T has their own file sharing protocol, called Remote File Sharing or RFS.
It is included (along with NFS) in UNIX V.4.

Since AT&T doesn't seem on the ball about registering an official TCP/IP
port number for RFS, how can we get this going?  We just went through a lot
of pain getting a customer's site set up with RFS over our TCP talking to
RFS over another TCP.  This protocol has been out for three years, and has
built a major installation base.  Not having an official TCP/IP port number 
for it is an oversight that must be corrected.
