Hope this isn't too late, but I just found this out myself.  A
company called Beame & Whiteside in Canada sells an
implementation of NFS for the PC.  It supposedly runs in only
40k, although I have not had the opportunity to verify that.

They also sell a 2 versions of Telnet that allow standard comm
programs which expect the COM port to use telnet/ethernet
instead.  One version (~$150 works via interupt 14, the other
(~$225) uses a loop back plug on COMn: and works with virtualy
any asynch program.

I seem to recall the PC-NFS as being about $225 with good
discounts (30% for 20 copies and gets much, much better).

You can call the office at (416) 648-6556 or you can reach Carl
Beame c/o McMaster University at (416) 525-9140 x4025.

Nothing to disclaim!
