To reprise an earlier posting ( which was limited to Canada ):

We need to hook up PC's running on Novell on a Token Ring network to
a Sun-based nfs/ethernet network, the idea being to allow access to 
large geographic databases from an installed base of PC's.

It seems that we need a PC-NFS protocol that can talk to a packet driver
that can in turn talk to a Token Ring card, with an ethernet card in
the server bridging into the sun network.

Is anyone doing this?  Any ideas about products that will do this?
