   What concerns me is whether:

	   CAP/AUFS	Pacer		Alisa		Novell
	   PATHworks	Mt Xinu		UShare		NFS/Share
	   Pathway NFS	all the other ones I've forgotten

   can handle this now, or if they have to be changed to accommodate
   System 7.

NFS/Share seems to work well under System 7, although it does require
a working rpc.lockd on the UNIX side, which is a surprisingly rare
beast.  If you run bwnfsd (which you should be able to get from Beam
& Whiteside or InterCon), it'll use it for locking instead, as I
understand.

Disclaimer:  I'm an NFS/Share tester--contact InterCon for the official
scoop on the state of NFS/Share.
