the UNM computing center is preparing to use NFS on a large
scale, campus wide. we don't use it now (except in a few workstation
labs). we have a nice broadband/baseband campus network, and a
variety of machines and opsys. it is probably a little
much to expect or even attempt complete connectivity, but the more the
better. i am seeking general advice: which implementations of
NFS (if any) for our various systems will give us a filesystem
network that will "work", which versions of the NFS standard are
compatible with each other, etc; anectdotes and advice concerning
actually putting something like this up would also be welcome.

we have microvax 2's and 2000's (running 4.3bsd, ultrix 1.2 & 2.0,
VMS), vax 780's (running 4.3bsd), an 8650 (running VMS 4.5,
with WIN/TCP 3.0), a sequent B8000 (running 3.0 dynix), ibm rt's (running
4.3bsd and AIX), sun 2's, 3's (running sun3.4).
