We have used both PC-NFS (from SUN) and PC/TCP (from FTP)  with X windows
packages eXceed from Hummingbird (Toronto Canada) and X Vision from
VIsionWare (this one works with Windows 3).

a) Both provide reasonable reliable service for all TCP/IP functions. I have
not been able to get the mail services for either working properly. In
my opinion, PC/TCP is more reliable.

b) If you are not using an X window's package, but are using something like
QEMM, PC-NFS results in more memory available. With Windows 3, PC/TCP,
X Vision and QEMM running, I have 406k of memory available.

I am beginning to think that the only way to solve the memory problems on
PC's is to use some form of UNIX.
