I am in the process of installing PC-NFS on an IBM 3270PC with no success.
The 3270PC is (to my knowledge) essentially a PC/XT with an enhanced display
and an IRMA card.  It NEEDS DOS 2.1 to operate.  I am trying to get PC-NFS
running via a 3COM 3C501 Ethernet card with PC-NFS 3.0.

When I try and execute a "net start rdr pc2 *" it comes back with
"[PC-NFS INSTALLED]" and then it bombs, even disabling warm boot.  I have
tried interrupts 3 and 7, but that's the extent of my meddling.
When booting, it seems to go thru two out of the three device drivers
in the config.sys file.  When trying to run nfsrun, all it does is print
a couple of lines and then returns the prompt.

I know the cable is connected.  I know the hosts tables on the PC and the
server are correct.

I am stuck.  If anyone has experience or help with this, please reply to:
