Thank you for your help. I got 4 responses and I am posting a summary of
these to help others in need.


1. Can you load PC.NFS.SYS and other drivers so it is (in) expanded or
   extended memory?
- All answers mentioned high memory area. 386Max and QEMM was mentioned.
  What to load seemed some difference of opinion. PCNFS.SYS was
consistently mentioned. A split on the NIC drivers. SOCKDRV.SYS either
freezes up the machine or is not useful in high mem.

2. Why can't PC-NFS run in the DOS compatibility box of OS/2? Is there
   a PC-NFS for OS/2?
 
   I never received an answer on the first question. It would be nice
   if this restriction goes away in OS/2 2.0. No OS/2 PC-NFS was
   reported to exist. If it works in the DOS compatibility box of 2.0,
   I am less likely to care about when an OS/2 version comes out.

3. Any hints on downloading fonts.
   - appears to work in theory but specifics have to be explored.
BMy comments on Mac NFS
   I was talking about Wollongong's which is hidden under some title
   like Pathway Client Mac NFS or something along those lines. It
   lists for $345 or thereabouts but was discounted to $1690 for ten
   copies. The ability to mount nfs volumes, the lpr command, and a
   system editor  (that converts between DOS, Mac, VMS, and UNIX text
   files) are real pluses. Minuses are no telnet or ftp (you can
   supplement it with NCSA telnet and Hyperftp.) I hope it will
   provide a low-end Mac-PC file sharing solution.

Again thanks  for your help
