Example: we're going to be picking up a nice little machine known as an Epoch (basically an NFS server with anywhere between 1 and 1000GB of storage, divided between hard drives and optical devices). Since this little baby handles file archiving to it's optical devices for long term storage for files that are rarely accessed, it would be really nice to use from our Novell network, either having a PC do an NFS drive mapping to some directory on it, or have the server mount a directory from it. The point I'm making here is that the NFS option needs to be able to mount a remote NFS drive as a volume on the server or at least having DOS clients to map an NFS drive to the NFS server. It sounds like the current NFS NLM sounds good, given enough space for your NFS clients, but there really needs to be two-way NFS support.
