Maybe I missed messages pertaining to troubles with the NFS-client and
NFS-server with this package, possible too, that there are troubles with
the DEC-side involved in the setup (we are still working on it, although
there are no troubles among the DEC-Ultrix-machines mounting each other
file-systems). Maybe someone knows an easy answer.

1)

OS/2-NFS-client-troubles: XCOPYING tons of MB sometimes leads to kill
the NFS-client with the following error-message:

    "Software diagnostic code 000D.
     NFSC: NFSCTL: Unknown error <99> !"

Same thing happens if I try to mount a locally exported drive without
having portmap started (by error). NFSCTL-screen:

IBM TCP/IP OS/2 NFS Client Release 7.2 (c) Copyright IBM Corp. 1990
Buffer size:     4096
RPC timeout:     3 sec
No. of retries:  10
No. of Biods:    4
Priority:  class:4 level:1
Parallel write requests:         off
Case sensitive comparisons:      off
NFS Control Program is running.

2)

NFS-Server started on OS/2, mounting exported OS/2-drive from DEC-ultrix.

ls works, copying with cp or accessing OS/2-files with unix-programs
lead to troubles in OS/2-NFS-server not replying. The unix-side retries,
occasionally files get thru to the Unix-side.

The OS/2-NFSD-screen shows:

IBM OS/2 NFS Server Version 1.0 (Mar 12 1992)

NFS: File ownership set to uid ...., gid .....
NFSD: Initialization complete.  Server running.
NFS<_nfsRead>: Can't send reply
NFS<_nfsRead>: Can't send reply
... a couple of times the above message


As we intend to backup all of our OS/2 machines via the Unix machine
(it has an exabyte streamer) we would need the NFSD being stable. Unfortunate-
ly, the IBM-version of TCP/IP does not have a tar supplied (which could be
EA-aware). Does FTP's OS/2-version include it as is the case with the DOS
version ? Does IBM intend to add a tar in the near future ?

This whole backup-problem in our setup (our Unix-machines have all the
needed devices) could very well leed us to use another's product which
allows us to use the Unix-world for backup-purposes.
