No one mentioned the Bell Technologies UNIX w/NFS for the 386.  It
is System V/386 based (very plain-vanilla) but has NFS built-in.
Cost is $395.  For not much more than the cost of the SUN PC-NFS,
you get a real (or _near_ real) operating system.  I don't have
details (maybe someone can yank them from 386users?).

I don't recommend using other protocols.  We have a bunch of
fileservers here at McGill (netware, tops, etc) and it's a
headache.  I would like to see NFS on everything, despite its
well-known (and well-loved, no doubt) flaws...
