Is there any way to tie a PC running OS2 into a (predominantly Sun)
NFS network? I have heard of a product by FTP software, but this does
little more than facilitate file transfers.  What I am after is
effectively "mounting" a Sun drive on the PC.  This sort of
functionality is available under DOS (but seemingly not the
compatibility box) as part of PC-NFS (from SUN).


and, ... question  2....

Is there any way to hook up a CDROM to an OS/2 system?  Note that the
Microsoft CDROM extensions are DOS only, and most CDROM vendors don't
even mention OS2.  It seems to me that now that some PS/2s (re: IBM
PS2-80 A31) are using a SCSI to access their hard disks, that it
shouldn't be all that hard to get a SCSI CDROM connected into an OS2
system.... but so much for logic.
