Domain Distributed Services (part of Apollo's implementation of U*ix) has
an NFS capability and DDS runs over T1 links quit satisfactorally --- Here
at our offices we use a 60 mi T1 to do day to day Demand Paged Virtual 
Memory between systems in Mass. and New Hampshire.

It is kind of fun, however it is so transparent you forget that it is there.
