Look for the Sun/BSD source code on ftp.uu.net (available via
anonymous FTP and usable but with certain restrictions).  Also
available is SOSS, which is available as source on sun.soe.clarkson.edu.
SOSS runs under DOS and is quite portable, but it implements an
older version of the NFS protocol.

If you're looking for high-performance, you probably will want to go
with proprietary rather than public implementations.  But then again,
the NFS protocol itself is not exactly fast to begin with, particularly
on write operations:  NFS' biggest advantage is compatibility, not
performance.
