SHephard) Distribution: na Organization: Amdahl Corporation, Sunnyvale CA Lines: 27 Well what I want to do is connect my PC to a NeXT that I am buying. The NeXT comes with NFS and TCP/IP support. I'm buying an 8bit ethernet card for the PC and I need software for NFS or TCP/IP. I dont want to buy PC-NFS fom Sun (too expensive - $500). I need to connect the two machines so I can have floppy drive support (I'm buing a cube optical but no floppy). But if NFS is gonig to cost me $500 I might as well buy a floppy for the NeXT since that is about the price range for NeXT floppies. So what I want is the location of some public domain/shareware stuff. It does not have to make the PC act like a server, a client only is fine since the NeXT can be a server. Please email. BTW I really need sites that can email me the software since I don't have the ability to FTP. Also if you know of comercial packages that don't cost an arm and a leg please give me the names. I don't mind paying for software, I just don't want to pay $500 for software and card. ~$250 for software and card would be fine.
