Currently, I've been using Excelan's EXOS 205 stuff on my AT (with SCO xenix). It provides telnet/rlogin, ftp, and rwho (plus a programming lib). It does not have NFS. It would be nice to access files on our suns (or vaxen) via NFS, under xenix. Is anyone doing this? (I'd hate to be stuck with DOS, just to use NFS...)
