At the present time there is no PC-NFS driver for the Excelan Ethernet
card. There IS a version of PC-NFS running on Excelan, but it will
be of limited utility to most of you - ASCII Corporation in Japan sells
a Kanji PC-NFS derivative which ONLY works with the Excelan card (and,
I believe, only on certain Kanji-ready PCs).
