We have a VAX 11/750 running under 4.3BSD.  We are looking into the
possibility of adding several SUN stations which would be sharing a
hard disk via NFS.  We'd like to have the vax also running NFS so that
its disks could be shared by the SUNs.  Has anybody in the net tried
this configuration, that is, several SUNs and a VAX running NFS?  If so,
how heavily does this configuration tax the limited computing power of
the VAX?  Any pointers to vendors that distribute NFS for the VAX (prices?),
would be greatly appreciated.  Is NFS in the public domain?

Thanks.
