The subject line says it all.
We've got a Sun Sparcstation that we'd like to use as a file server for 9 PC's.
Seeing as how NFS is an "open standard," and seeing as how Sun wants $195
per PC (after a substantial discount) for their PC-NFS product, I thought
I should ask and see if there are any 3rd party (or even Public Domain)
versions of NFS for the IBM-PC. We'd only need it for files, not for printing
or anything else.

BTW, if there's some easier/cheaper way to do this (perhaps Novell),
PUH-LEEZ let me know. I would prefer something that requires as little
babysitting as possible (seeing as how I'm gonna be the babysitter :-)

Thanks!
- Mike
