     I am curious to know about:

     Has anybody tried NFS over long haul networks? (Something like ARPA,
     dedicated High speed links over large geographical distances ....).
     This arose out of this evening's fantasy discussion with my friend
     (whose name I shall not reveal as he might be too embarassed to
     publicize his fantasies and affections for NFS, UNIX ....).  We
     were fantasizing about a global file access system (yes, mother Earth)
     Will it be a fantasy for ever? I guess so.

     UNIXes of the world unite.

     [Imagine the paranoia at NSA, MD. gorby@kgbvax can 'cd' into 
     /earth/us/md/nsa/secret_files/ at nsacray!].

P.S:  As I typed this note initially, I got a message "note file cannot be
created: possibly archives going on" - words to that effect.  Guess the
NSA is running a note kill daemon on this machine.  My determination has
not waned.
