This is a quick followup to my previous query about PC-NFS.  I
neglected to point out that the PCs that we would like to interconnect
do not currently have any network hardware.  The PC-NFS
hardware/software package appears to retail for ~$700 (in quantity
10), which would come to about $450-$500 with our educational
discount.  Is the network interface hardware from Sun a reasonable
choice, or would I do better to buy the hardwrae and software
separately?
