They have been shipping since at least November when we got our copy.  I am not sure about their implementation of NFS, but ours will work just fine over most of the LocalTalk to ethernet boxes.  We have tested with the following, FastPath, Webster MultiPort, and the GatorBox.  NFS/Share should be shipping by Feb 18.
