I have been scouring the net lately for public domain networking software for 
the PC, with the ultimate goal of getting some PC AT's to access files on a 
Sun 3 file server.

The software I have found so far is considerable. The following list is 
certainly incomplete/inaccurate, as I'm new to all this:

PC/IP:  Provides IP, UDP, and simplified TCP for the PC. Can be used with
         several types of Ethernet cards, plus serial.

KA9Q:  Provides TCP/IP for PC, plus UDP, SMTP, and more. Applications provided
       include telnet, ftp, finger, ping. Works with 3Com Etherlink & serial.

SLIP:  Provides IP capability over serial lines on a Unix host.

PC NFS Server:  Implements the NFS server-side on a PC.

PCrouter:  Turns a PC w/ ethernet card into an IP router.

PCbridge:  Turns a PC w/ ethernet card into an ethernet bridge.


What I'd like to know whether there's anything available out there that will do
the NFS *client-side* on a PC. Also any extensions/clarifications to the
above list would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Georg.
