It seems that Sun's PC-NFS (Version 3.0) does not recognize symbolic
links through the file systems mounted as drive letters.  For example,
if there is an NFS directory /usr/dostools which has the subdirectories:
toola, toolb, and toolc and a symbolic link to another filesystem called
toold, then from PC-NFS, only tool[a-c] can be accessed.  toold does not
even show up in the directory listing.

Is there a way around this (besides mounting the other filesystem as 
another drive)?  Has this been changed in the latest version of PC-NFS?

Thank you very much,

-- John
