Connectathon is actually an interoperability testing event for ONC/NFS
implementations.  Many vendors who have NFS products set them up on a
shared network and attempt to run a standard set of test suites in an
attempt to get everybody's implementations to work against everybody
else's.

Connectathon 1991 is scheduled to be held this coming March, in San Jose.
