Steve, 
 
I SURE do know what is involved in adding NFS server/client capabilities
into Xenix since I was involved in adding it to other compatible
*nixes. It just seems strange to me that SCO and Excelan haven't joined
forces to provide this product. Like yourself, I too know that SCO is working
on the project; however, the way things are going, other '386 Unixes will
have it before SCO.
