I am working on 3 386 Machines two 25 MHZ and one 20 MHZ 386.
We still have ISC 2.0.2 are running 1 Machine with a 600 MB drive
as NFS-Server. 
We have started with Ni5210 MICOM Cards but we had problems to run
NFS with it. So we changed to WD8003 ethernet cards an everything runs
well since today. The NFS only seems to slow down the systems
significantly.
