Two comments on PC NFS.

A server side is not made impossible by the OS lack of support for
process-based multi-tasking.  If TOPS is any indication, acceptable
performance is possible with a background server design.

Second, floppies were mentioned.  Floppies are irrelevant.  The average
MS/DOS machine these days has a ten or twenty megabyte internal hard disk,
parts of which might often be made public.
