I am not sure that I understand your questions, but I think what you are
looking for is PC-NFS from Sun Microsystems.  PC-NFS will run on almost any
PC/XT/AT/PS2 machine with a variety of ethernet boards (WD, 3COM, etc.)
You can set it up so that the PC will mount filesystems on a UNIX host
providing NFS server.  From MS-DOS, there appear new networked disks like
D: that correspond to the mounted file system.  You can sometimes get in
trouble with multiple people running non-networked applications that write
to the same files, but this is almost unavoidable using ms-dos.
