I am trying to establish a CDROM network using PCNFS on the
user side, SOSS on the CDROM server machine, and TCP/IP as the network
protocol.  

Has anyone else implemented, or planning to implement, a similar design?
(or is this folly?)

At present, I am sometimes encountering "rubbish" when running the
Silverplatter CDROM search software.  I suspect that the problem is with 
either PCNFS or SOSS being unable to cope with record pointers in Large Files.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

CDROM server: 286AT, DOS 3.3, MSCDEX 2.1, SOSS 3.2
