Is it possible to have named pipes across NFS? What I want to have is
a server that writes to the pipe while other client machines try to read
from it. My application doesn't require the output to be serialised.
I tried it on SunOS 3.5 and Ultrix 3.1 and it didn't work.

Thanks in Advance,
Kai Shing
