Therefore you must use CUTCP/NFS-A (alpha version, but works pretty well)
from Clarkson U.  It runs CUTE (the Clarkson adaptation of the NCSA code)
on top of the PC-NFS kernal.  You may still want to use pktd.sys and a
version 5 packet driver; I've had better luck (so far) with it over the
PC-NFS distributed interface drivers.  BTW, does anyone have the pktd.sys
that works with version 6.0 packet drivers available for anonymous FTP?
Last I checked, the old pktd.sys was still the only one on the Clarkson
servers.
