Some questions on ru-cap2

(1)
	I have a sparcstation that has an nfs mounted disk that I am trying
to serve to the mac.  Everything seems OK except when I goto copy a file, it
takes abnormally long and the original sun that is serving this volume gets
the following message:

		RPC: Can't encode arguments.

I did create the /etc/services file with at-rtmp, nbp, echo and zis and did
a make services under /var/yp.

The problem does not appear when I mount this from the original server.

I this something that just isn't supported???

(2)
	What are the performance hits on mounting large file systems on the
Mac (like /usr/local).

(3)
	Is there better performance using ethertalk compared to iptalk??
	I have read the README.RUTGERS.FIRST but it was clear to me.


Please mail responses to me, and I will summarize if there is interest.

Thanks!
