#Help!
#
#I am trying to install PC-NFS on a PC with an Ungerman-Bass PC-NIU ethernet
#board already installed.  I am attempting to establish PC-NFS connection 
#to an Apollo running NFS.  Note that I have a PC-NIU board and not a PC_NIC
#board, for which U-B already has an NFS driver.
#
#My question is:  does anyone know if UB has written an NFS driver for their
#PC-NIU board?  A phone # for UB would also help.

Ungermann-Bass has written an NDIS MAC driver for the NIU which is
"released and selectively available" (I think I got that right.) In
conjunction with the PC-NFS NDIS interface it allows you to run PC-NFS
over an NIU. My contact at U-B is Don Livinghouse, on 408-562-7939;
he's on vacation right now, but I'm sure you can negotiate your way
through their voicemail system to another human being in marketing :-)

Someone else recently reported (on this or some other newsgroup)
problems with getting this configuration to run OK. I know that I had
to tweak the PROTOCOL.INI that U-B supplies, but it works fine for me.
If you have any problems, email me.

Also, if anyone needs to run PC-NFS over a NICps2, please email me.
