I am considering purchasing the SCO Open Desktop with Server upgrade. Can
anyone help me understand the differences between the NFS Server, and the
PC-Interface.  Both seem to have similar features, and I don't know which
will be best for my goal:  I have 10 dos pc's, sitting on the campus wide
ethernet backbone.  I want them to be able to access data sitting on the 
server running SCO ODT.  Which of these scenarios would yield faster 
performance over the net, and which would require less ram usage on the pc?

thanks for your help.
