Subject: PC-NFS with MS-Windows and/or X11R4? Does it work? How well?

One of our users (the first one that tried) has problems
using PC-NFS together with MS-Windows, i.e. he does not get
that working at all. I would like to hear from anyone that uses
(or tried to use) this combination.

Furthermore we are interested in using X11 server software together
with PC-NFS, but do not have any experience with that combination.
Reading the article in comp.protocols.nfs by Eric Pilger,
<10083@uhccux.uhcc.Hawaii.Edu> "When Will It Be Fixed?",
in which he states:

>	- When will I be able to open more than 6 Windows on my X server
>	software (eg. fix the socket overload bug AND provide more sockets)?
>	- Will you (or do you) get together with some of these people writing
>	X servers and help them optimize and debug their code (and yours?)

I would like to know any opinions on suppliers/qualities/prices of the
different X11-server software implementations for DOS (AT's and 386SX's),
that can coexist with PC-NFS (and thus use e.g. snf-fonts from an NFS server).
