Although I haven't tried (and I could without too much trouble), I
think using a GatorBox would work. For those who don't know, a
GatorBox is similar to a Kinetik's Fastpath network bridge except that
the GatorBox makes NFS fileservers look like Appleshare fileservers
for Macs.  We have one at work and it works just dandy (our Sun has an
enormous amount of disk space). Send e-mail to Cayman Systems (the
makers of the GatorBox) at support@cayman.com or possibly
support@cayman.cayman.com and ask them for sure.

My employer pays me well. This, however, does not mean he agrees with me.
I wrote Z-Link & BinSCII. Send me bug reports. I use a //GS. Send me Tech Info.
