Does anyone have any info on the company with the best licensing policy
for PC-NFS?  I'm trying to replace Novell Netware by "hiding" unix
boxes as PC network servers - however, the cost advantage I thought
was there is not with PC-NFS costing $205.00 per PC.  Any public
domain implementations would be great - the product only has to be
able to make a Unix directory appear as a virtual dos drive (E: or
whatever) and do dos print services through the Unix box.  
Caveat:  These people don't want to ever see Unix...(except the system
administrator) - just DOS and they want a cost advantage (or I want
to prove that there IS a cost/performance advantage).

Please mail any responses and I will post a summary.

Thank you in advance.
