(We had this problem trying to configure Cayman's GatorBox at the ONC/NFS staging for Interop '90.) To provide NFS connectivity on a EtherTalk only Appletalk network, you need an NFS client on the Macintosh. Wollongong sells such a client, Intercon has announced its intention to ship one as well. -- David N.
