This is kind of a follow-up to a previous thread, and also implicitly
addressed to Matt Dillon...

There was some reference to the reason why NFS: would not work on all
UNIX machines, I believe this had to do with the "word order" relative
to the 68000. A friend has NFS working fine on a Sun machine, and the same
dnet source compiles and runs fine on a Sequent (DYNIX), except for NFS,
which hangs the Amiga end after a few bytes are exchanged over the modem.
I would like to get Matt or anyone else who knows what to do, to post
a fix, or any other clues as to what to do to get NFS running on the Sequent.
BTW, the user accounts on the Sequent are not (official) NFS partitions,
which is what dnet prefers, from the docs.
