I think comp.protocols.nfs is a fine idea, provided it's for the objective
examination of network file systems ( generic ), but I don't think it's a
fine idea if it's just for Sun's Network File System, specifically. It's
a means to an end - transporting data - and I think the real interest on
the part of most readers' minds is transporting data, not helping fix a less
than perfect standard ...
