It is possible to run UDP/IP based protocols over X.25 under B.O.S., including NFS. Although I was told otherwise by my friends here at Bull. I have remote mounted file systems in Norway to our local machine in Sweden. And it works, even if it is slow due to the 2400 BPS modem at the norwegian side of the network. Sorry again for any headache that my (incorrect) information might have caused. /Love Feuer Bull Sweden +46-8-7284349 love@swbull.bull.se
