hi,
does anyone have any experience using nfs under os/2? i'm trying to find out
how its speed compares to other implementations of it. we're seeing that
it takes about 50 secs to copy a 640K file to an nfs drive and just 13 secs
to ftp the same file. do these timings match your experiences.  i'm told
that in general nfs is much faster than ftp, but i've never used nfs so
i don't know that.  i did read that ibm's version is based on udp, which
if i remembersome of my networking can result in a lot of timeouts and
resends of packets, and it is connectionless( is any of that right??).
any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
jay keck
