#Can someone tell me what is Beame & Whiteside(sp.?)
#PC-NFS ? Is it a new PC network NFS product or what ? 

Obligatory legal nit: PC-NFS is a registered trademark of
Sun Microsystems, Inc. The B&W product is, I believe, called
BW-NFS.

The X/Open term for a client implementation of NFS on a PC is
(PC)NFS.
