What is the definition of "fully support" ? I have an Amiga 2000 sitting on 
my desk at Sun with an Ameristar ethernet board running NFS. I can mount
filesystems from a server on the net and have it appear as a volume on the 
Amiga. Works rather well from what I can tell. They tell me their Arcnet 
product supports peer-to-peer networking. It appears to be nearly as functional
as Sun's PC-NFS product (I can't vouch for the RPC/XDR interface since I 
haven't played with it yet). So what's fully. You want an Amiga server?

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
