Here at U of M, Apple contracted a group to implement NFS for the MacOS
last year.  It runs under UM-CITI's own MacIP implementation right now
(not the new MacTCP or SuMacIP, NCSA, etc.)  Apple has full rights to
the stuff written, so it can't be distributed outside UM right now.
Work is being done to port the NFS implementation to MacTCP next year...

My initial reaction to NFS on the mac--  slower than AUFS when using
LocalTalk, but almost as fast as a HD over Ethernet based IP.
