Well, not all software needs to be aware of it, just to tolerate it.

MKS toolkit is sufficiently aware to use the PC-NFS hostname as its
nodename (output by uname); things like WP5.1 and Lotus 123 seem to
work just fine on our PC-NFS network.

The problem with Windows 3.0 is that it insists on knowing about your
network, and doesn't seem to know about PC-NFS.
