Quoth hhg1@gte.com (Hallett German) (in <11393@bunny.GTE.COM>):
#1. Is there software using SUN's TCPIP that comes with PC-NFS that can
#   tell you the hardware/software makeup of a PC using PC-NFS? (Kind
#   of like STATUS Mac over LOcaltalk?)

I don't know what STATUS shows you. Can you email me an example?
In addition to the documented NET commands we support NET ALL
which presents as much information as NET can glean.

#2. What is the status of the book that Sun was going to have listing 
#   third-party software/hardware using Sun's PC-NFS? (Was mentioned
#   in the 3.5 announcement. Cost, order info, and availability info 
#   would be greatly appreciated.

I have a few (actually quite a few) copies of this PC-NFS Third Party
Product Guide available at no charge. If you want one, send me email
with Subject "Third Party Guide" containing your postal address.  First
come first served, one per customer, no rain-checks, no substitutions,
void where prohibited. If I can't decode your address, you lose. If this
violates the Usenet guidelines, blame Hallett :-)
