SunOS 4.1 apparently uses a new version (2) of the NFS mount protocol.
The DEC VMS - Ultrix Connection (version 1.2) seems not to support this
version.  SunOS 4.1 will negotiate down to the previous version (1) if
the NFS server responds with a "version mismatch" error code.  Unfortunately,
the VMS - Ultrix Connection returns "program unavailable", so it is
not possible to mount VMS filesystems from SunOS 4.1.

Does anyone have a patch to the VMS - Ultrix Connection 1.2 that will
cause the correct error code to be returned?

Thanks in advance,
